Offered is a scrapbook that measures 14” x 11” in size that has several pages with cut outs from Bay Area newspapers, scorecards, programs, etc that have been taped into the scrapbook. Autographs were obtained in-person from a young (at the time) Bay area autograph collector.
Approximately 350 + autographs inside this scrapbook (some have tape over the signatures – please see scans – we pictured pretty much everything inside the scrapbook). Most of these were obtained from the mid-late 50s. Most of these autographs are from future and former Major League ballplayers, NFL players, College Football Stars, some minor leaguers (PCL), and NBA players. Some really tough autographs are within. Many of the players are in duplicates inside this scrapbook.
