I have heard that there are a total of 2 Joss's that are considered authentic.
1. The postcard listed above with the last name only, and
2. My full name example shown here.
I have heard of possibly another Joss signature out there but I have never seen it in over 40 years of collecting (I started collecting when I was 9 years old for the record).So I do not know if a 3rd is out there or not.
The red numbers are only "weighting" bonus points given for having those signatures in your collection, because those signatures are so rare that the population number of those signatures is unknown a true weight can't be given only assumed and therefore they are given an arbitrary weight of 1. They are not indicators of the population number known for those players autographs only "extra credit " for having them.

Amazing piece!!! Very nice of you to share.

Thank you!

Wow thats incredible! Thanks so much for sharing. Do you have any other "Virtually Impossable's in your collection?

Scott and to all who responded ,
Thank you for your compliments.
This piece came from Napoleon Lajoie's child's autograph album. This was in an auction in 1995-1997 I believe . I can check my records for the exact date.
There were a dozen or so autographs in the album and I went in partners with another collector to split the album.
I got several sigs including a William Hulbert also , and he got a Hank O'Day among others as his prize signature as part of our deal.
This is a cut from a letter or ledger that is affixed to an album page , so there is really no back to this piece except the other side of the album page .

Kevin,
Unquestionably an EPIC piece to own!
Certainly one of the most elusive autographs in our hobby...
Thank again for sharing,
Scott
