Baseball Legends: Six Signed Pieces 2 x Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays, Roy Campanella, Sandy Koufax and Yogi Berra. Six signed pieces by greats of baseball.
Joe DiMaggio (1914-1999) Two signed pieces. One a very early autograph on card stock 2¼ x 3½" in steel-tip fountain pen that is a must for collectors given how dramatically his signature changed in later years. LOA by James Spence. The other is a very scarce vintage original 8 x 10" sepia colored photo from Joe DiMaggio's 1937 film role in MANHATTAN-MERRY-GO-ROUND, here pictured with character actor Henry Armetta. Know original stills from this film with DiMaggio are very scarce and sell for $200-$300. DiMaggio has signed just above his head with signature authenticated by James Spence & Assoc.
Roy Campanella (1921-1993) boldly signed 8 x 10" color photo while at bat certified by James Spence & Assoc.
Willie Mays (1921- 89 years in age) Small but very legible and clean, signed signature written in the early to mid-1950s. "Best Wishes, Willie Mays, N.Y. Giants" on a leaf lifted by all appearances, a reporter's notepad. Paper has discolored only slightly, with the paper 1¾ x 2¼" Perfect for presentation matting and framing.
Sandy Koufax (1935- 85 years in age) signed autograph book leaf, boldly signed 3 x 4" with color photo for framing.
Yogi Berra (1925-2015) Signed color 8 x 10" photo with notation on verso "Signed in person, Old Times Card Show, Kissamee, Florida". Estimated Value $900 - UP
