His stoic demeanor often misconstrued as “moody,” former Yankees backstop Thurman Munson took a no-nonsense approach to the game with an uncompromising desire to win. This framed display showcases the tragically felled star’s coveted autograph and definitive likenesses of a man who served as the celebrated franchise’s first captain since Lou Gehrig had met with a premature demise of his own. Framed to 14-3/4 x 11-3/8” under blue velvet matting, a team-issued black-and-white photo postcard is signed by Munson in blue ballpoint (“9-10” strength). Headlined by arguably the most potent Munson signature extant, the display is accented by additional black-and-white Munson photo. Full photo LOA from JSA. This item has a reserve (estimated value: $1300-$1800).
