The roll call of New York Yankees legends is astonishingly long with this multi-signed sheet. Though hobby favorite Mickey Mantle isn't on the list, he does make an appearance with a single-signed original sketch.
Featured are:
Legends multi-signed sheet with (23) autographs averaging ("8-9") potency. This 5-1/2 x 10-3/4" page bears several horizontal folds, though the signatures remain distinct and present handsomely. The accompanying full photo LOA from JSA indicates there were originally 27 signatures on the page, however the Roger Maris and Tony Kubek autographs have been removed and replaced with a taped section of blank paper. The LOA also notes the Phil Rizzuto signature as a vintage clubhouse example. The list of signers is: George Selkirk, Bob Turley, "Lefty" Gomez (HOF), Elston Howard (d.1980), Jim Hegan, Frank Crosetti, Mark Koenig, Don Larsen, Hank Bauer, Gene Woodling, Joe Dugan, Tom Tresh, Bill Dickey (HOF), Bobby Shantz, Johnny Lindell, Ed Lopat, "Yogi" Berra (HOF), Charlie Keller, Joe DiMaggio (HOF), Johnny Mize (HOF), Joe Sewell (HOF), Nick Etten, "Babe" Dahlgren, Phil Rizzuto (clubhouse), and Leo Durocher (HOF).
