Encapsulated with Autographs graded GEM MT 10 by PSA/DNA. Hall of Famer. Presented here is a splendid triple-signed art card bearing the signatures of New York City's three great centerfielders of the 1950s: Mickey Mantle, Duke Snider and Willie Mays. All three athletes have affixed spectacular, blue marker signatures near their respective likenesses on the card's obverse. The three men (two of whom are now deceased) played in New York City during the same period. Mays toiled for the New York Giants, Mantle patrolled the field for the New York Yankees and Snider was a star with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Mays was the 1951 National League Rookie of the Year and a two-time N.L. MVP. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1979. Mantle played his entire career (1951-1968) with the Yankees, and was a 20-time All-Star and three-time A.L. MVP who was enshrined in 1974. Snider, a 1980 HOF inductee, was an 8-time All-Star and a perennial home run threat. This is a showpiece signed item, boasting outstanding presentation quality.
