Help IDing an old autograph

VandyCards · 01-24-2025, 08:15 PM

I bought a binder of old autographs at my LCS today. Almost exclusively Orioles and Phillies from 1980-84. I’ve been able to identify most of them (Rose, Morgan, Palmer, Bowa, McGraw, Carlton) but I can’t figure this last one.

Any ideas?

I thought it might be Ken Singleton’s last name, but doesn’t look quite right.

Thanks!

I'm stumped...I can't help but see a "D" for the first name and "F" for the last name.

The way it cuts back on the first stroke it could very well be a G.

An abbreviated/rushed George Foster?

That's my guess too.

Looking at some old examples on eBay, seems George Foster is a good bet. Thanks a for the help!

Great eyes on the “G” and George Foster guesses. I found a few that looked similar after it was mentioned. Has to be it.
