JULY 19TH AUCTION
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 7/20/2013
Hank Aaron's No. 44 Rawlings Atlanta Braves jersey signed with classic tomahawk stitched to front. Autographed by 11 members of the 500 Home Run Club: Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Eddie Mathews, Reggie Jackson, Frank Robinson, Willie Mays, Harmon Killebrew, Mike Schmidt, Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, and Willie McCovey. Aaron's signature appears directly below jersey number, other signatures run in two lines below that. Size 42, red and blue colors vibrant, Excellent condition. This was the 'original' 500 Home Run Club, prior to the 'steroid era'. Four of these members have passed since this jersey was signed in the early 1990s (Mantle, Killebrew, Mathews and Williams), and others are no longer signing. The quality of the signatures on this jersey are virtually all mint and the jersey is free of any blemishes. Perhaps the cleanest and highest quality 500 Home Run Club signed jersey on the market and the nicest one our staff has seen, and that's saying a lot since several members of the staff oversaw this project when it was produced in 1991. Comes with full LOA from PSA/DNA.
