Lot 457: Elmer Flick HOF Signed Postcard

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $50.00
Winning Bid: $210.78
Price Realized: $251.88
Auction Date:9/10/2005 9:00 PM EST

One of the few pre-20th Century signatures that can be found was panned by Elmer Flick on this commemorative HOF postcard. Flick, one of a horde of NL stars who jumped to the new AL in 1901, played with Nap Lajoie (when he wasn't exchanging punches with him, as the two detested each other) in both Philly and Cleveland, hitting .315 lifetime and copping the batting title in '05. Somewhat shaky signature by an elderly Flick (who died in '71) has faded a trifle but grades a fine 6/10. Card is NRMT.
