Significance of autograph (rare):
This was a historic game to say the least, the 1941 All-Star Game! Why?
At the time there were four MLB cities that had a team from both leagues.  With no  interleague play, there was obviously comparison between players and teams. And the fans in those cities are close to out of control.  Then add the US on the brink of entering WWII, with players leaving for the service just about every day.  This All-Star Game was high in the sky drama!
Then, with one swing, baseball’s high and almighty Ted Williams hit a three-run walk-off home run.
In All-Star history, an impact never yet to be equal.  
Note: When inquired about this home run years later, Williams said it definitely was one of my greatest thrills. And this year 1941, would also mark Williams’ season-ending .406 batting average … the last .400 hitter in MLB history.
And as a bonus, a second signature card signed by two of the greats that played in that famous game.  All three greats would eventually enlist …what an era!
