A trade was made between the boys and the new owner thought it appropriate to sign the card as well to document the transfer of ownership.
Frank,

I'm curious. Will you now sign the Waddell card as well to document the transfer of ownership?

If requested by the next owner, I would happily comply. Rest assured that I will ask.

If this was a common practice, I imagine some of these little cards would be quite crowded with sigs.

Default My best story of provenance
is owning a card that was once owned by Burdick, who sold the card to Sir Edward Wharton Tigar (in the 1940s)...and a few decades later, it is now in my humble collection

I would think you would want to sign the back to document the transfer of ownership from Gordon Soutter to you.

This card has a nice history: Con Dempsey [PCL/MLB player] got it as a kid in SF, gave it to collector Dave Eskenazi. From Dave it went to Mark Macrae, and I got it from Mark at a National.

I remembered this thread from earlier this year. This is the first one I've seen, stamped and signed. Just listed on ebay(not mine and don't know the seller)

Here's my Zeenut Paddy Driscoll. It has what I believe is Buck Barker's writing on the back, documenting his baseball and football careers. Then, at the bottom there is a note that Dick Dobbins acquired the card in 1973 and apparently traded or sold it to someone named Hauser in 1978. At least, that's what I guess the note means.

From the personal collection of Billy Sunday. Was auctioned off by his granddaughter in 1973, purchased by Keith Mitchell.



Nice to know that the Rev. also saw a Kelly card as a great personal keepsake.

nice addition to your growing collection...

have your boys become more interested in your collection since you started this thread a year or so ago?

have they ever been to a card show with you?

These cards all belonged to Zach Wheat and were in his scrapbook. I also picked up this telegram that was with the cards. I love having Wheats own T206.
