Autographed Pre-War Cards - Cobb, Lajoie, Others
Posted By: T206Collector
As many of you know, I have been sharing pre-war autograph stories with long-time collector Jeff Morey. I have been fortunate to be able to add some of his cards to my collection, which I have shared on my website. He just sent me some scans of his old collection from a past Mastro auction catalog and I was just floored. I had to share these images because they are so amazing. |

I didn't get any from this particular sale. Morey only had a few left last year, but no HOFers and actually no signatures from players I did not have already. |

I read Morey got one of his cards autographed by Cobb in Coopertown. Asked Cobb to sign it while Cobb was eating breakfast in a cafeteria. I believe Morey started collecting as a kid through the mail when the autographs had minimal if any financial value. All along he disliked the idea of autographs being worth money, but finally sold his collection after he retired. |

....was one of the items Morey had signed by Cobb at the Otesaga Hotel in Cooperstown, during brunch Hall of Fame weekend, 1959. Below is a brief transcript of my conversation with Morey about this exchange. |

Gotta love that Cicotte! Gorgeous coloring and bold signature! It almost makes me want to collect this (autographed) set. |

Either the one on your website or if you find the one you mentioned in your second post. As I see that you are the leading known collector of such fine examples, I figured that you were the one to mention it to. |
