Elio Chacon, from a private signing with Bill Corcoran in 1991.
One of the very toughest autographs of 1960's player and an original NY Met.

Absolutely thrilled with this addition...just thought I would share it with the forum!
The autograph was taken on October 16, 1934 right before Mr. Ruth embarked for the Tour of Japan and is part of an autograph book. Other signers include Connie Mack, Chas Gehringer, Joe Cascarella, and John Quinn. Lucky Last edited by LuckyLuke; 02-28-2015 at 02:46 PM. Reason: wrong photo format |

FYI: It is a minor point, but this is not a free frank, it is an endorsement. A free frank is signed on an envelope in the upper right corner in lieu of a stamp when it is to be mailed. Franking privileges were and are reserved for the President, Vice President, Cabinet Secretaries and members of Congress in both houses. Years ago it was free. Now it is paid for at a reduced postage cost. During the Civil War it was also used by officers. A great place to find them is at good sized stamp shows.
