Get your Hall of Fame autograph collection caught up, with this Gil Hodges signed postcard. The debate over Hodges merits raged for more than fifty years, when his ghost was finally put at ease with his election to the Hall in 2022. A good citizen, and model of consistency as a 1950s slugging first baseman for the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers, Hodges also guided the Mets to a "Miracle" win in the 1969 World Series, as their manager. Produced by the H.S. Crocker Co. of Los Angeles, this "Mirro-Krome" postcard is a real photo type, that pictures Hodges during his days in Los Angeles. Addressed to a married couple in Kenosha, WI. this vintage card is postmark dated 11/30/59. Hodges has provided a pleasing ("9") blue ballpoint pen on the photo side, and the postcard shows (VG) quality. Full LOA from James Spence/JSA.

Opening Bid $200.
