    Just in case you didn't know, one of the last ones, George Stirnweiss, is a fairly rare one as he passed away in the later 1950s.

    I found the envelope he's in with Hank Greenberg dated 1945 from my Yankees post

    I sure did. I love their handwriting. I showed my girlfriend these and told her a story or mentioned a stat about each one(I had to wake her up a couple of times)! It would have been fun to see more nicknames like "Snuffy" "The Cat" "The Whip" "Boo"and "Indian Bob" among others. Wow! Bob Johnson was/is one of my favorite players. He was so underrated. What a slugger! From his first year until his last he pounded the ball! I would have loved to have seen him hit. Bill Voiselle is the answer to a great Giants trivia question"Tim Lincecum led the National League in strikeouts in 2008-2010. Who was the last Giants pitcher to lead the league in strikeouts before him? I believe Bucky Walters was on the cover of a Who's Who in Baseball in the 40's! What an honor! All these autographs made me think back to the Ken Burns Baseball Series, I believe about Inning 6. Just wonderful! Bob Johnson...WOW!

    These have all been very very cool to see! Love the penmanship that these guys had back then.

    I recognize a few more Cardinals. I have a 1953 Topps Dixie Walker that is signed. I forgot when he passed away but I do know it has been a long time ago.

    These are really neat. Does anybody know what the Roman numeral I (or maybe it's a capital I) is in the San Antonio address? Never seen that before.

    Pesky's Pole in there.

    Wonder what the guy's (kid's?) connection to Texas hotels was?

    Its great that so many of the players who lived into the 90s and 00s have very little change in how their signatures looked in both time frames. Good stuff.
    I collect Steve Garvey, Dodgers and signed cards. Collector since 1978.
