Making his debut in 1890 for the Cleveland Spiders, Denton True "Cy" Young let the world of baseball know who he was by tossing a 3-hit shutout. This would be the first of Young's astonishing 511 career victories, arguably the most unbreakable record in any of the major American sports. Young would go on to throw 749 complete games during his 21 year career while posting a 2.63 lifetime earned run average. Inducted into Cooperstown in 1937, Young holds many other records including games started (815), innings pitched (7,356), and consecutive hitless innings pitched (25 1/2). This 3x5 index card has been encapsulated by PSA/DNA and given a grade of 9. One of the nicest Young signatures you will find, this beauty is double matted with beautiful gray suede and professionally framed in a cherry wood frame. This display that measures approximately 25.5 x 25.5 has been topped with museum quality UV glass to protect it from ever fading. If you are looking to add a signature of Cy to your collection, you will have a hard time finding one nicer than this gem.
