I have two so far and one other person who is on vacation is getting back to me, they have one...anyone else want to put a Dots in the hands of one of his family members? I'd like raw ones and low grade(but presentable), don't want anyone getting a real nice one or different from the others(I passed on the PSA3 above despite the great group price he gave me)

Dots.........
One of my favorite T206's. Very nice of you to give family members/relatives an original Dot's T206.

I'm back from Kentucky and the Miller Card I have has a Sweet Caporal back. It is raw, well-centered, and would probably grade G-VG as the corners are pretty worn. No significant creases.
It does have some pencil markings on the back. If you use your imagination it might say Dots Miller. From what I can tell it is not an autograph. I've seen copies of his autograph and it appears that he signed his name J. D. Miller and with much better handwriting. I acquired the card in 1989 at a show in Cedar Rapids, IA. I traded an '89 Fleer Bill Ripken obscenity card for (6) raw T206 cards. Values aside, it was a great trade for me. Vintage for an 80's card...I'll make that trade every day of the week.

How "Dots" Miller got his "name"
The story I always heard about how Miller became "Dots" Miller is that at spring training one year a sports writer asked Honus Wagner who a new player was. Wagner, in his thick accent said "that's Miller" but it sounded like "Dots Miller". And the nickname stuck.
