I agree that the card is "more likely" genuine. But...
I can find no mention of Hughes ever having had a stroke. He lived seven more years, and in those days, a debilitating stroke was more likely to kill sooner than one is today. All anyone seems to have is precisely two "exemplars" that don't match. Nothing definitive can be said. |

Here's my other exemplar of Salida Tom. This is supposedly from John Evers, Jr. Collection. For what it's worth.

I agree with you David. Until another example on a flat is found, it is impossible to say for certain which one is his actual autograph.
TOM HUFFORD has a Thomas J. Hughes I believe. Maybe he can chime in and clear things up for us! Rhys |

Here is an example of Thomas James Hughes , he signed his full name at bottom. Writing above is in another hand. Date 1918

The first image posted in this thread (the one with the authentication sticker on reverse) is neither Thomas James Hughes or Thomas L. "Salida" Hughes, it is Thomas Franklin Hughes (1930 Tigers)

I tried to clean up the Long Tom and Salida Tom signatures a little bit. Not sure it helped much, but see what you think.

I just ran across this thread while searching for Salida Tom Hughes. I'm a new member so my apologies for continuing an old thread, but this is the only place I have found good information on this subject. Has anybody actually had their hands on one of his autographs or seen one for sale ? I'm so happy that you guys posted an example so I will have something to go off of ! Way too many Tom Hughes' ! I have dealt with a couple of you (Jim Stinson and Rhys) while trying to add to my 1914 Boston Braves collection and you guys have been great. If any of you run across 1914 Braves or WS items for sale I would appreciate you pointing me in that direction. I will never own a Stallings or Evers autograph unless I hit the lottery, but I'm interested in the more reasonably priced items. I'm also looking for a reasonable Dave Jolly (1957 Braves) autograph. Thanks !
