Grade Value: V2

Significance of autograph (valuable):
Having McGwire autograph hurts … at the time I paid a lot of money for it and thought I got a fair deal.  Unfortunately, the guy whom I dealt with was a bigger sleaze bag than McGwire. But the autograph does represent an historic period in baseball history, a player whom captivated the world of baseball when he broke Roger Maris’s record and this was his rookie season.  The consensus is that he was not using a banned substance then.  A Shakespearian character if ever there was.  Eck’s autograph is always a treasure piece … good guy and a throwback to the old fashion broadcaster.   Note: Aaron Judge broken McGwire rookie record for homeruns in a season with 52 in 2017.
