1941 College Football All Stars Autographs w/ Jack Robinson

[Joe Hunter]

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to stumble on to an autograph album with virtually every member of the 1941 College All Star team including a somewhat unheralded halfback from UCLA, Jack Robinson. There are over 80 signatures in the album, and there were only 64 players on the team, so a few signed the album more than once. Unfortunately, Robinson only signed once. Other notables include: Tom Harmon (2 sigs), Paul Christman (2), Rudy Mucha, Norm Standlee, Angelo Bertelli, Forrest Evarsheski, etc. The All stars played the WC Chicago Bears at Soldier Field and lost 37-13 in front of 98,000 fans. I'm guessing this is one of the earlier Robinson signatures. A couple of questions: Was it common for him to sign "Jack" early in his life? Second, I plan to keep the album intact as I just couldn't bring myself to cut it up, but would it be worth more with some of the more valuable sigs as individual cuts?
