In his last few years, while serving as vice president for the minor league club, Hall of Fame hurler Satchel Paige signed the offered Springfield Redbirds business card. Dating this vibrant card is a snap. Paige was hired for this position in 1980, the Redbirds moved to Louisville for the 1982 season, and Paige passed away on 6/6/82, thus defining the period of signing to 1980-1982. Located at the west end of the card, Paige's ballpoint pen autograph shows a ("9") degree of strength. A slight paperclip impression has minimal impact on this bold signature. Auction LOA from James Spence/JSA. Opening Bid $150.
