Who would have believed a guy that hit .235 with 14 dingers in his first season would go on to crash 61 Big Ones for the Yanks just four years later? Well, Roger Maris did just that. Crisp two-cent postal card from June of 1957 has large, flowing signature of Maris in black ballpoint pen. Autograph is well-centered on the GPC, and would grade at least a 9 of 10 in quality. Cancellation date of 6/6/57 from Cleveland, Ohio on the reverse. Earliest government postcard of Maris we have handled. Near Mint.
