The Walters autograph is strong with smudges on the “W” and two other letters. The Verban autograph is a 9-10. The following pencil autographs are 9s and 10s. Four 1944 Cincinnati Reds, Dain Clay, Eddie Miller, Frank McCormick and Bob Katz. 3. Vern Stephens (d. 1968), power-hitting shortstop for the Browns and Red Sox. 4. Al Zarilla (d. 1996), outfielder for the Browns, Red Sox and White Sox. Copy of an LoA from Global Authentication. Authenticated by Kevin Keating as well.
