Dr. Clarence G. "Doc" Steen, began collecting baseball autographs in 1910 and he collected his entire life passing away in 1965. However, the majority of his collection was obtained between 1910 and the late 1940's. "Doc" Steen sent players photos to sign, most in the form of these premiums, storing them carefully and out of the light. After his passing these signed photos were placed in a safety deposit box where they remained for decades. As a result of this careful handling and storage the majority of his collection are signatures that rate 8-10 on a scale of 1-10. Bidding is now open for this live auction with internet bidding, May 16th, 2015 at 10am.
