Vintage Hall of Fame Signed Photo Collection (8) with Heilmann, S. Rice, Maranville, and Cochrane
Collection of eight photos, each signed by the respective Hall of Fame player or players pictured. Unless otherwise noted, all are black-and-white vintage images, but none have been submitted to PSA, so no guarantees can be made with respect to specific photographic Type designations. <strong>1) Kenesaw Landis</strong>. Matted magazine photo of Landis, inscribed by Landis in black fountain pen (grading 9/10) at the base of the matting: "Dear Mr. Scott: May you hit over four hundred next year - and many many years - Kenesaw M. Landis November 17, 1925." The magazine photo (3x4") is in Excellent condition. The matting (5x8.75") displays three tack holes and is otherwise in Excellent condition. <strong>2) Billy Terry and Rogers Hornsby.</strong> Each player has signed in blue fountain pen upon his respective image. It appears that Terry had some trouble signing initially, and his first attempt has been partially erased.
