As for next....probably the most common name I need is Christy Mathewson, but I want a check and that is never cheap. If I can add one or two current HOFer in 2021, I will be ecstatic. More likely is working on upgrades and searching for old "potential" HOF. |

Won this one over at Hunt, while I am a little bit questioning the authenticity, it did come with a JSA LOA (only Benton's Ive seen were in a shaky hand)
Rube Benton, 1917 WS game 3 winner, and key person in testimony to baseball gambling that led to the unearthing of the 1919 Black Sox scandal |

I have had a couple of Benton autographs and all were a bit shaky even when he was young and active (1920's). I doubt as a pitcher he had an impairment, I think he might have been functionally illiterate like Joe Jackson. I could be wrong and that is pure speculation.
