14 Autographs, Many with a Cincinnati Connection – Schott, Lombardi, Hoyt, Rowe, Etc.
Lot 726. 14 Autographs, Many with a Cincinnati Connection – Schott, Lombardi, Hoyt, Rowe, Etc. These signatures are on various media. Sometimes it comes down to getting a baseball star’s autograph on whatever you have. Maybe a bag from a grocery store. That’s what Ernie Lombardi signed, and so did three other Reds who played in the 1930s. The pencil signature of the Hall of Fame catcher is nm 7 on a 3” x 4.5” section from a bag. There is a stray pencil mark next to the top of the “b.” The three autographs are on a slightly larger portion of a bag – Eddie Joost, Chuck Aleno and Ival Goodman. The Aleno signature is ex-m 6, while the other are nm. Marge Schott autographed a panel of a holiday brochure and added a paw print representing her St. Bernard Schottzie. Mint 9. During his Hall of Fame career, Waite Hoyt never played for the Reds, but he broadcast their games for 24 years. One of his broadcast partners was Jack Moran. Both signed an autograph page (3.5” x 5”) dated 1958. Both signatures are mint 9. Pete Rose and Jim Bunning signed the back of the same computer card. The card is creased and the autographs are in opposite directions, but they could be separated. Gary Nolan autographed the other end of the card. Nm-m 8. Other autographs are by: Gene Freese (nm 7) on a business card; “Schoolboy” Rowe (nm-m 8) and Rudy York (ex to ex-m 6) on a section clipped from an envelope; and Chuck Tanner on a name tag from a SABR event. This group includes Rose, three Hall of Fame members and a couple of stars.
Minimum Bid $35.
