Build that baseball gallery you always wanted, with this fantastic collection of (15) team-signed 1973 Fleer Baseball Big Signs. A large format oddball series , these 1973 Fleer Signs measure 8 x 11-1/2", and have factory hole punches for ease of hanging. These colorful cardboard creations are all team-signed by the represented franchises, with a combined (15) sign total of (295) period autographs, from 1975-1983 MLB teams. Though one sign has a crease, they generally present NM+ details, and only four have their hole punch tabs removed, including the one that's creased. Most have a proprietary stamp and/or written autograph acquisition notation by Bob Bartosz on the reverse, and a few have Woolco store price stickers. The autographs are all pleasing examples, with signature strength ranging ("8" to "10").
