This priceless collector’s signature set is a unique collection of 300+ card signatures on 105 box score game cards … are all part of one set. It (set) includes 118 HOF+ signatures and 203 signatures of players that have passed away since signing a box score game card. As you can image an enormous amount of time, effort and money (well into the thousands) went into putting this rare signature set together backed by a ton of documentation to support the authenticity of each and every autograph. Note: The set’s box is certified as the first press sheet.

Autographs?

This rare signature set includes autographs from the 1932 World Series card (Ruth’s called shot game); to the first ever Colorado Rockies game (1993) when Bob Smith threw a shutout for the Rockies. And in between? There are famous home run signatures such as: 1941 All Star box score game card (Ted Williams), 1946 AL play-off (Lou Boudreau),1951 NL play-off (Bobby Thomson), 1954 (Dusty Rhodes), 1960 WS (Bill Mazeroski), 1975 (Carlton Fisk), 1977 WS (Reggie Jackson), 1981 (Rick Monday), 1987 RS (Mark McGwire), 1988 WS (Kirk Gibson) and 1993 WS (Joe Carter). That’s only touching the surface, with historic game signatures such as Mel Harder’s on the 1933 All Star box score. You say what? Well, remember Carl Hubbell’s performance in that game, Harder pitched five all-star shutout innings. And there are multiple signature box score game cards as well: the Impossible Dream Team (1967 – ten signatures), the Miracle Mets (1969 – eight signatures), 1962 NL playoff Dodgers & Giants (six Hall-of-Famers) and the 1975 WS Fenway classic (ten signatures – seven Hall-of-Famers). All on box score game cards!

Important Note:

To reemphasis the significance of these autographs, remember the autograph on the box score game card is from that player(S) who played in the historic game and in many cases the player had a critical role in the game’s outcome. That is the icing on the cake that clearly separates the box score game card from signed ball, glove, hat, etc. Add 300+ autographs to the mix of which over 150+ deceased players, with autographs on game cards that are close to 100 years old. ‘PRICELESS’!
