Significance of autograph (v-valuable):
This is a special signed card.  On this day the Montreal Expos played their first game ‘ever’. And two players of little historical baseball significance played critical roles.  Don Shaw (pitcher) won the game, and Dan McGinn hit the Expos’ first franchise home run. Note: This would be Don McGinn’s, a (Notre Dame boy) first and only career home run.  But it gets better. McGinn was a pitcher that day.
A rare and unusual card.
