1948 Roy Campanella "Rookie" Signed Government Postcard (PSA MINT 9)
Government postcard, postmarked July 6, 1948, signed in blue ink by Roy Campanella, who has added the salutations "Best Wishes" and "Sincerely" above his name. PSA has encapsulated the card and graded the signature MINT 9. Campanella signed this card during his first season in the Majors, making it an especially appealing example. This card is part of a much larger signature collection compiled by our consignor's father in the late 1940s ("The Long Beach Autograph Collection"). Like nearly all autograph collectors at the time, his main method was to write each player and enclose a prepaid self-addressed government postcard to be signed and returned. As we can see by the size of the collection, most players were more than happy to oblige. All the items from the collection are featured in nineteen separate lots in this auction, including the signatures of many prominent Hall of Famers. The postcard (5.5x3.25") displays a few light creases and a small piece of clear tape (which has browned with age) at the base of the signature side.
