Presented is a 1956 Roy Campanella signed and inscribed government postcard sent to a fan in Brooklyn, New York. Because of baseball's unwritten "color line," Campanella was obliged to wait until 1948 to make his Major League debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers. The Hall of Fame catcher had already spent eight seasons in the Negro Leagues, mostly with the Baltimore Elite Giants, plus more than a year in the Dodgers farm system. Within a few years, Roy became an amazing star, combining great defense with terrific hitting, for both power and average. This great all-around performer was the National League's MVP in '51, '53, and '55, and in that '55 season, the Brooklyn Dodgers won the franchise's only Brooklyn Dodger World Series. When "Campy" signed and inscribed the aforementioned postcard in '56, his previous season's MVP performance included a .318 batting average, 32 home runs, and 107 RBIs. In '56, Roy was struggling with a debilitating hand injury, and he batted only .219, with 20 home runs and 73 RBIs. Yet, the Dodgers again won the NL Pennant but lost the World Series in seven games to the New York Yankees. Campanella struggled with injuries during the '57 season. The Dodgers moved to Los Angeles for the '58 season, but Campanella became a quadriplegic after an auto accident in the winter before the Dodgers began play in California. Campy later coached and worked in various capacities for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The offered "2 Cents" postcard measures 3.25x5.5". Campanella signed and inscribed ("Best Wishes") on the postcard on the back, in big and bold, neatly scripted blue ballpoint ink. Also, on back, in pencil written by an unknown hand, "6/26/56." There are also a few tiny, inconsequential stray pencil marks on the back. The front of the postcard was apparently self-addressed by a Brooklyn fan living on Hicks Street in Brooklyn. The card has a Brooklyn, New York, postmark of June 23, 1956. The postcard exhibits some expected darkening after nearly over 88 years, but it is in otherwise nice condition. The card has been encapsulated and PSA/DNA Certified as AUTHENTIC AUTO.
