My Grandfather's Baseball Autograph Book From His Bat Boy Days in the 1930's & 40's

I have an autograph book that I would like to get some opinions on as far as quality and value. There are like 200 or so signatures I could list them but it might be more fun for u to see if u can tell who they are for yourselves. I like to think of this book as the holy grail of baseball autographs for this time frame. Enjoy. Looks like I will have to put the rest of the pages in a reply post.

That Gehrig looks good to me. I just "saved" the Foxx and magnified it with software and it does look good.

Detriot 17 looks like they were all signed by the same hand.

Definitely, a fascinating item to dissect.

I just did a quick tour of all of them. interesting mix. some, like the Dizzy Dean, Rogers Hornsby are way off. Some, like Mel Ott, Carl Hubbell are smack on. and some are on the fence.
