Circa 1942 George Burke Boston Braves Signed Photograph Collection (27) w/Stengel & Kelly
Collection of vintage George Burke black-and-white photos, each picturing a different Boston Braves player, and each signed on the front by the respective ballplayer. The photos of Casey Stengel and George Kelly have each been encapsulated by PSA, with the photos certified as Type I Authentic and the signatures certified as "Authentic." This collection has the special provenance of originating from the personal collection of Boston Braves catcher Phil Masi and has been consigned directly by a family member. Each photo measures 4x6 inches and bears Burke's credit stamp on the reverse. All are signed in green fountain pen (averaging 8/10), with a few personalized to Masi. Given the players represented, the photos were most likely signed in the early 1940s (although some of the photos were clearly taken at an earlier date based on uniform styles). Excellent condition overall. Accompanied by the original George Burke mailing envelope. The collection consists of the following: Stanley Andrews, Ray Berres, Dick Coffman (personalized "To a great kid"), Johnny Cooney, Dick Errickson, Al Glossop, Buddy Hassett, Al Javery, George Kelly (coach), Phil Masi, Doc May (trainer), Eddie Miller, Gene Moore, Al Piechota, Bill Posedel (personalized to Masi), Chet Ross, Bama Rowell, Manuel Salvo, Sibby Sisti, Casey Stengel (Mgr), Nick Strincevich, Joe Sullivan, Jim Tobin (personalized to Masi), Rabbit Warstler, (personalized "to the baby robbin"), Max West, Whitey Wietelmann, and Ace Williams. Please note: the Casey Stengel and George Kelly have been sent to PSA for encapsulation, but have not yet been returned. We will post photos of each as soon as we receive them back.
