Are there any authentic signed Southern League T206's that are known to exist?

Also, it's rather interesting to read "...they think they are in the Hall of Fame". This article predates the HOF by more than a quarter century.

The term was commonly used in the 19 and early 20th centuries, meant with a heavier emphasis on fame and not meaning a museum or curated list. It’s only later it primarily came to mean a physical place and/or curated list of inductees.

Great research Patrick!
I have never seen a signed T206 Southern League card.

I think they are referring to the "Hall of Fame" that Harry Pulliam created in 1903/04.

Ginger Beaumont was the first player inducted into the HOF. I learn something new every day on here. I was hoping to learn who the Bad Santa was, but this will have to do. I have a really nice Beaumont from the David Hall collection. Maybe Beaumont's cards are due for a nice price run-up.
