Collection of eleven index cards, each individually signed by a different member of the Baseball Hall of Fame. All the cards have been encapsulated by PSA. Seven of the cards are simply certified as "Authentic," while four have also received a signature grade of either MINT 9 or GEM MINT 10. These cards are part of a much larger signature collection compiled by our consignor's father in the late 1940s ("The New England Autograph Collection"). All the items from the collection are featured in thirty-one separate lots in this auction, including many prominent Hall of Famer autographs.
The signatures, penned in a variety of inks, are all boldly scripted and average 8/10. The majority of the signatures are signed on the lined side of the card and the cards are in Excellent to Mint condition overall. The four graded signatures are duly noted in our listing. The collection consists of the following: Bender, Bottomley (GEM MINT 10), Clarke, Cochrane (GEM MINT 10), Collins (MINT 9), Hartnett, Simmons, Sisler (MINT 9) Pennock, Walsh, and P. Waner.
