Advanced signature seekers make a big score with this Honus Wagner signed and inscribed 1948 government postcard. Wagner (d.1955) was a week shy of his 74th birthday, and still going strong as the Pittsburgh Pirates hitting coach, when he signed this vintage GPC. A bold application, this Wagner signature merits a ("10") rating. Equally bold are the inscriptions penned by Wagner, with the date "2-17-48," the salutation "with best wishes from," and lastly "Pirates 1948." The opposite side of the card is postmarked 2/18/48, indicating Wagner was prompt in sending this autograph to a lucky fan in Brooklyn. Full LOA from James Spence/JSA. Opening Bid $500.
