Stebbins, Si (Will Coffrin). Inscribed and Signed Photo of Si Stebbins. Circa 1941. Full-length photo of the original ?rube? who worked for Barnum and others, and later pitched booklets touting the memorized deck system that now bears his name. 8 x 10?. Inscribed and signed in brown ink to Detroit magic dealer Harold Sterling, ?a straight shooter, Will Coffrin (Si Stebbins).? Uncommon. While booklets teaching Stebbins card system (which, according to some reports, he did not use) are relatively common, especially the later printings, other ephemera related to his career is truly uncommon.
