Long overlooked due to his reticent nature, "Turkey" Stearnes finally got the recognition he deserved, when he was posthumously elected to the Hall of Fame in the year 2000. Thanks largely to a campaign by his wife, his enshrinement came twenty-one years after his 1979 demise. Stearnes .349 career batting average, 7 home run crowns, and 2 batting titles, put him on the short list list of all-time greats, and his long ago demise, makes his autograph a top shelf prize. Aim for the top, to claim this Stearnes signed and inscribed index card. Presenting as an 8 strength application, Stearnes autograph is accompanied by the lengthy inscription "Centerfielder of the Detroit Stars 1923 until 1932, I retired at Chicago with the Chicago American Giants in 1941". Full LOA from James Spence/JSA.

Opening Bid $250.
