The offered 1952 Topps #36 Gil Hodges signed card crossed paths with the Brooklyn Dodgers Hall of Famer in the 20 years between the black back's production and the slugger's untimely 1972 death. The blue ballpoint autograph ("5") spans vertically to the left of Hodges' horizontal batting pose. The cardboard foundation presents in overall (VG) condition.
