| DATE SHOT: 1955-57 SUBJECT: Tex Nelson APPROXIMATE SIZE: 4"x6" MARKS / STAMPING: Typical postcard back with name and team of the player. Back image shown for example only. This card shows Tex Nelson and Baltimore Orioles instead of Paul Mirabella and New York Yankees. Hand-signed by Tex Nelson ORIGINAL or REPRINT: Signature is original, Photo is Type 4 - Second or later-generation photo, printed from a duplicate negative or wire photo process, in a later period SIGNER: Tex Nelson COMMENTS / CONDITION: Offered is a postcard-type photo of Tex Nelson in his Baltimore Orioles uniform which has been hand-signed by Tex Nelson. This is one card from a large collection of over 1000 such photo cards which one dedicated collector assembled and had signed by each respective subject. The description I was given of these noted them as Rowe photos, and though they are in a format that I am not familiar with, they make for a delightfully uniform presentation that one rarely sees in such a large assemblage of autographs. The front image of each card is a true matte-finish photo which is mated on the back to a thin card-stock backing with the simple standard black line frame and baseball design shown. The overall dimensions are 4''x6'', with the resulting thickness being slightly thicker than a standard trading card or postcard. The player's name and team also appear on the back, with a typical example being shown above. (Since the backs are all identical with the exception of the player's name and team name, it seemed a senseless waste of time to scan each one. If you really really want to see a particular back, let me know). The vast majority of these photo cards are in as-new condition with a very small percentage having slight corner bumps. The signature is authentic and is guaranteed to pass inspection by any major authenticator (JSA, PSA/DNA). Please see individual scans for signature quality and condition of each card.
