Yes, actually, they do. Jane Mathewson and Blanche McGraw signed a ton of stuff for collectors eager for traces of their husbands' legacies. They often attended HOF weekends with Mrs. Ruth and Mrs. Gehrig, signing loads of things. They're not particularly tough signatures to find.

But, rest assured, these came from the Jeff Morey collection, and he confirmed how he received these nearly half a century ago by mail.

As hard as it is to believe, this is an upgrade for me in that it has both a front and a back.
