Significance of autograph (prized):
This is the type of game that makes baseball what it is: the intrigue, strategy, and a baseball icon, Mel Ott, in the middle of it.  And as crazy as this game was … can you imagine what fun sports channels today would have with it … this box score game card being part of the collectible is just another example of what the set is all about: BASEBALL!  
Barthelson playing in this game and signing his name to it certainly adds to the set’s history and value.  Note: His autograph was not easy to get.
