Default Signed Zack Wheat Rookie Card

From the Jeff Morey Collection. Jeff was WAY ahead of his time, having tobacco cards autographed by the players starting in the mid-1950s.



Don "Barefoot" Post used to send T206 cards glued to a 5x7 index card. Love how Wheat signed this one...

Very cool -- I don't think if I've ever seen another autographed T206.

A few years back I sold my Koufax autographed rookie for around $700 or so. I've regretted it ever since. Since then, I have kept the ones I've run across. I think it's pretty cool, especially if it's a Hall of Famer's Rookie.

However, it is definitely not for everyone. Here are a couple I have.

There has definitely been a sea change regarding the 'acceptance' of autographs on (rookie) cards, going from collectors once screaming, "My God, it's ruined!!!" to now offering, "My stars, that player has beautiful handwriting."

Luckily, I picked up these long ago and never considered them anything but awesome...

You should go back and read old threads from the member you quoted. Legendary.

Edited to add: And of course, his website.

In the late 1980s I went to a show and had Feller and Musial sign 1953 Bowman cards, and Feller kept asking if I was sure I wanted to have the card signed because he knew it was a valuable one.

Signed cards in other sports and subjects are still within reach, even of the GOATs. NASCAR fans think this is the King's RC:



I go with the postcard issued a decade earlier:



Got it covered either way...

Wow. These are some amazing cards. I'm scared to ask how much some of these would go for in a broad auction process.

An unadorned 52T Mantle is beyond the scope of my budget, but I was checking on the pricing for autographed 52T Mantles. That's not even in the same ballpark.

I wonder how much a complete autographed T206 set (even without the Wagner) or a completed 52 Topps autographed set would go for, if it were even possible to compile.

And per one of the above posts, if Bob Feller was loathe to sign his own rookie cards, then that's saying something. I was under the impression that he was signing everything at one point.

If you pc someone you absolutely want signed cards, but overall these will continue to be desired more and more as time goes on especially of players that passed away pre 80s. I pc a guy no one really knows, Earl Whitehill, who died in 1954 and I just acquired a signed 1929 kashin. Any signed cards by him are my holy grails. Still trying to get a signed goudey wish me luck I think there's only a couple.
