So I was invited over my girlfriends aunt's house for dinner/celebrating tonight. My girlfriends parents know that I am a fan of baseball (probably from my girlfriends comments of why I am not around in the summer, ha). Her dad used to be big into going and uncovering hidden treasures at garage sales and such. Well he apparently had this lying around, not sure of its authenticity as it is dated a 1934 rule book, and it is in near mint condition. It was given to me with a rare print run of post cards of some older and now demolished ball parks. The post cards were made by his old company to show the style of printing/paper to a potential client. Anyways, I don't see why the rulebook would be replicated and I believe it to be authentic, probably not worth much, but regardless it is pretty cool...

While flipping through it on one of the last pages I find a signature. Definitely real ink as it seeped trough to the back of the page. More than likely the owner of the manual back in the day, but figured hey, have seen crazier things. Anyone have any insight to see if this is possibly an autograph that would be relevant??
