A fine companion piece to the adjacently offered Tigers signed book, this Red Sox example is equally unique and shares some marquee names in Mantle, Hornsby, Williams, Mack, Paige and Thorpe. The first-edition copy of Fred Lieb's tome is in GD condition with a loose, split spine and heavy back cover wear, yet the interior pages average EX overall. Signature strength is mainly "7-9". Tremendous breakdown value for signed cuts!
