Government postcard, postmarked November 16, 1948, signed in blue ink by "Grover Cleveland Alexander." PSA has encapsulated the card and graded the signature NM-MT 8. This card is part of a much larger signature collection compiled by our consignor's father in the late 1940s ("The Long Beach Autograph Collection"), the bulk of which appeared in our 2023 Summer Classic auction. Like nearly all autograph collectors at the time, his main method was to write each player and enclose a prepaid self-addressed government postcard to be signed and returned. As we can see here Alexander, like most players, was happy to oblige. The original note to Alexander from our consignor's father appears to the left of Alexander's signature. The postcard (5.5x3.25") displays a few light peripheral creases.
