Collectors of autographed Yellow Hall of Fame Plaque Postcards may especially appreciate this keepsake because nearly all of its signatures likewise appear above or below the signers' respective Hall of Fame plaques. A similar '73 HOF yearbook with fewer autographs sold at auction in 2011 for almost $4,500. Our consignor was the underbidder and got the lucky opportunity to purchase this second example for about $3,500 (receipt included). In order as they appear in the EX-condition softcover book, the "9-10"-strength examples are as follows: Grove, Hubbell, Gehringer, Dean, Dickey, Terry, DiMaggio, Lyons, Cronin, Greenberg, McCarthy (2), Carey, Feller, Roush, Faber, Grimes, Ruffing, L. Waner, Medwick, Musial, Coveleski ("8" signature), Hoyt, Boudreau, Frick, Haines, Paige, Berra, Gomez, Koufax, Leonard, Irvin, Kelly, Spahn, and Mrs. Babe Ruth. The vast majority of then-living Cooperstown inductees are represented. Full LOA from JSA.
