I knew about this collection, but the website only showed Jennings, Evers and Huggins. Wow.

except for the possibility of the marquard those signed t206s are poor forgeries
im familiar with the collection of dan ginsburg and its "donation" to that fla museum
few if any t206s were signed prior to the collector era of the 1970s

While I am highly suspicious of all of these signatures, except for the Larry Doyle and the Rube Marquard, it simply is not accurate to suggest that no T206s were signed prior to the 1970s. While most were signed in the wake of the publication of The Glory of Their Times in 1966, we know based on objective facts that at least hobby legends Jeff Morey and John Wagner were quite active in their pursuit of signed tobacco cards as early as the mid-1950s.

For instance, we can see in the following letter from Fred Snodgrass to John Wagner that he was returning a signed "Cigarette Photo card" which was a T206 Snodgrass batting:

Nonetheless, I would agree that any T206 card purportedly signed by a player who died before 1940 -- like, e.g., Keeler, Jennings, and Huggins -- should be treated as presumptively fraudulent, without a tremendous amount of provenance, or at least multiple opinions from trusted experts.

This. None of the T206 HOF signed cards look close to real.

Interesting. What do the cards by the bats say?

Thanks, though, sigh, I really could use a Heinie Zimmerman bat in my own collection.
