Lot 65
Dean, Jerome Herman (Dizzy) (1911-1974) Professional baseball player who had a brief but spectacular pitching career with the St. Louis Cardinals. He was one of the most colorful athletes in the history of organized sports.
Signature ("Dizzy Dean"). Signed Time Magazine. Signed in blue ink. There is a library stamp at the top right corner of the cover and a streak of blue ink at the bottom of the portrait. Some edge wear is visible and the cover has been professionally reconditioned, but the magazine is complete. This piece is in very good condition.
As baseball was gearing up for the new season, Dizzy Dean is featured in an article about the Cardinal's chances to repeat as World Series Champions. Of course, Dizzy wasted no time in assuring the Press that the Cardinals would win, albeit "by an eyelash."
Estimated Value $250 - 450.
Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from Vintage Sports, Lewiston, IL.
