Scarce contract between the king of the baseball card companies and this king of ballplayers. For their 1953 Topps Archives Set it is for $500 and signed in mint blue ink “Ted Williams 10/13/91”. Ted Williams Topps contracts are rare, as he did relatively few card series with them. This was due to the juxtaposition of his career and his business relationship with Fleer (Ted started playing in the 1930s and Topps really did not get going until 1952). Comes with cover letter from Topps’ baseball card pioneer Sy Berger to his son John Henry. Mint.
