Autographed T206 Question
Posted By: Marty Ogelvie
At this price, it might be worth taking a flier at but has anyone every seen anyone Autograph a card or anything this way? Niles, Bo. AL
Seems odd to me. I know autographers today like to put neat sayings like MVP or HOF which is a nice touch but the auto above seems more like someone putting a note on the card in case the lettering below becomes hard to read.. |

I've seen white border tobacco cards with the name and city written or printed at the top, usually on cards where the cut was such that the normal caption at the bottom was either missing or partially missing. |

The seller noted he sent the card to PSA/DNA for authentication and they would not authenticate.. but he noted COA in the Title.. which is mis leading because I didn't see anything in the description about a COA. |

Niles died in 1953. I have only seen his autograph once, I believe, and this doesn't match. Plus, as someone else mentioned, it would have been a very odd way for a player to have signed. |

Autographed T206 Question
Posted By: DJ
This is a good seller and I don't think there are any red flags on this sale based on the fact that this seller is being up front here. It is very bizarre, especially since we are talking about quite a minor figure here in the T206 world. I have never seen a signature as well (I have never looked or remember handling one) and there really is nothing wrong (IMO) in handling the possible authenticity in this manner, by both the seller and even PSA/DNA who rendered it without an opinion. It is bizarre to simply sign last names and I'm sure this gentleman probably received maybe four fan letters a week from his adoring fans to where he could probably add a first name as well. |

I have handled Niles' signature (only once), and this bears no resemblance to the government postcard I owned. Sorry, I no longer have a scan to share, so you'll have to take my word for it. Incidentally, it's highly doubtful that an inconsequential player such as Niles would have received three or four autograph requests per week--more signatures would have survived if that was the case. Back then (late 1940's-early 1950's), only higher-profile players would have received such a "high" volume of fan mail. |
