Fred Graf autograph example?
Anyone have an example of a Frederick Graf (1913 St Louis Browns) autograph?
Also, did he ever sign "Graff"?

Interesting.
The reason I asked was I need him for my VERY slowly growing "1945 and Before" Debut Date autographed flats collection and came across the following 2 autos in a large baseball collection I got many years ago but set aside as "Question Marks" and haven't really seen any since. The collection largely dated to the mid/late 1960's to the late 1970's. What do people think about the added "f" on the name and the autos themselves?

Those look good to me. He was known as Fred Graff as a player but signed his legal name Graf on those draft cards.

He is listed as "Graff" (two f's) in the 1920, 1930 and 1940 Federal Census'. Also, several of the Chattanooga TN city directories over the years have him listed as "Graff", but others list him with only one f. His engagement/marriage announcements in the Chattanooga newspaper in 1914 and 1915 also have him as "Graff", so it does appear that he may have preferred the two f's in his name.
