ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
You may not have bronze plaques and museum space, but you can start your own Cooperstown with this autograph collection featuring baseball Hall of Famers and other greats. Jackie Robinson put his best wishes on an index card, while Bill Terry, Whitey Ford and Red Ruffing signed 8 by 10-inch glossies. Moe Berg penned his name twice (front and back) on a cancelled bank check, while a 4 by 6-inch George Burke photo of Frank Frisch features his signature across his Pirates jersey. Not one to have his name forgotten, Lefty O'Doul autographed a postcard advertising his San Francisco restaurant on both sides. And in another photo, a modern galaxy of stars gathered for a group shot and signfest, including the enshrined Frank Robinson, Joe Morgan, Rod Carew and Reggie Jackson. As for Fred Lynn, Don Baylor and Vida Blue, you can hold your own induction ceremony. All autographs rate NRMT or better, with the exception of Frisch which shows light smudging.
