Quincy Trouppe, famed Negro Leagues catcher. Is this his autograph?
Hi all,I recently came across a signature described as being that of famed Negro League catcher, Quincy Trouppe. It is a signed postcard dated May 10, 1952 and postmarked from Cleveland, Ohio. Interestingly, Trouppe played in three MLB games for the Indians in 1952, his only stint in the big leagues. The last game of his career in which he recorded his only hit, was on May 10, 1952. If genuine, this would be a remarkable piece from Trouppe's short carrer in the MLB. The issues that stand out…See More

"Thanks Steve! Great stuff. Like I said in the other post, I saw two different autographs, in the same hand too. When I first looked at them they didn't strike me as being blatant forgeries. But like you said, Ted doing this? Highly,…"
"Thank, Fudd!
Always learning something new. I had heard about John Henry. Not much, though. Died young , in fact, right after his father. I was talking to a friend and he told me that the son would accompany Ted at various card and auto shows.…"
"Stay away"
"I completely agree. John Henry was known to sign his fathers name and spend time practicing. As soon as I saw the same signature on the same sheet, I knew this wasn’t something Ted would have done, but someone who was practicing…"
"I agree with Fudd, that was my first thought, that it is a practice sheet for someone other than Ted."
"The one you got in 92 is gorgeous John, the other 2...not so much.
They might be from John Henry practicing his dads name, IMHO? I'm not seeing why he would sign notebook paper in that fashion. I'd move away from them myself"
"not a fan."
"I have doubts. Has a "too smooth and neat" look."
"For some reason, I'd stay away from this. I really don't like to opine on the Williams autograph, other than a baseball. I'm more adept, which isn't saying very much, lol. I'm looking at this and it's signed in pencil…"
"Do you think both are real? Thanks!"
