BOB W SMITH SIGNED Postcard (d.2003) Boston Red Sox Cubs Indians

APPROXIMATE SIZE: 3-1/2'x5-1/2"

MARKS / STAMPING: Hand-signed by Bob W Smith

ORIGINAL or REPRINT: Original

COMMENTS / CONDITION: Offered is a postcard (measures approx. 3-1/2"x5-1/2") which has been signed in black ink by Bob "Riverboat" Smith. Comes from a collection of signed postcards assembled by a collector in the late 1980s-early 1990's (judging by the signers). All autographs in this particular collection are on the same medium: a photo postcard of the "Sand Lot Kid" statue outside Doubleday Field in Cooperstown, NY. Some of the players signed the front (photo) side of the postcard, some the back, and a few signed both sides (just to be sure). The name and rookie year of the player is pencilled on the back of each card, assumedly by the collector. For the sake of time, only the signature side of each card has been scanned. If you need to see the other side, please let me know. As with all of my signed items, the signature is guaranteed to pass further inspection by any major authenticator, or your money back. See scans for signature quality and photo condition.
