Vintage Rarities IV ~ Summer 2011 Vintage Baseball Sports Memorabilia Auction
Jackie Robinson Autograph & Roy Campanella Signature - Brooklyn Dodgers.
Hopes were high riding into the 1956 Dodgers season after they captured Brooklyn's heart by landing the World Series crown the year before. And, they nearly repeated falling just one game shy in a 4-3 series loss to the favorite New York Yankees. Here we find a postcard, depicting the Hotel Schrdeder on the front with signatures of Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Dick Williams and R. Jackson on the reverse. All four pencil signatures are very nice, '9-10' in strength. Additionally, there is a signed piece of paper by HOF member and recently deceased Duke Snider. Robinson and Campanella (pre-accident) autographs during their playing days are consistently in demand and when paired together have a wonderful presentation value.
Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication (JSA). The Snider signature has not been authenticated but is certainly guaranteed to pass JSA or PSA/DNA as it was acquired the same day by our consignor in 1956.
