1916 GROVER CLEVELAND AUTOGRAPHED CARD

Sign In to see what this sold for

A scarce card with a scarce autograph! This is the Grover Alexander card from the Successful Farming series of 200 from 1916. The card carries the same image as several others from the era, most notably Sporting News (M101-5) and Weil Bakery (D329). The card alone with a common player in poor condition could nearly be an auction lot, but THIS card is not only for Ol' Pete, but also signed by Ol' Pete! He has signed at the very bottom of the card in pencil, which has faded a bit with time. The card itself would likely be graded Poor-to-Fair, mostly due to the large crease across the middle. But condition is not a huge factor with this card as, most importantly, the autograph has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA. This card was issued when Alexander was with the Philadelphia Phillies; he would go on to have a stellar career with the Phils, Chicago Cubs and St Louis Cardinals, finishing tied for third in all-time wins with 373. An outstanding find!
