This photograph is authenticated by PSA/DNA with certification number C34673 and includes a matching certificate of authenticity card. The second item is a commemorative Hall of Fame induction card for Jim Palmer, featuring a color photograph of the player in a road uniform alongside his career statistics and details regarding his induction on August 5, 1990, in Cooperstown, New York. The card is signed in blue ink in the lower-right area. This item is authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA) with certification number E70048 and is accompanied by a matching Basic Cert card. The commemorative piece is marked Copyright 1990 TV Sports Mailbag Inc., Yorktown Heights, N.Y. #31.
Frank Robinson Photo: 8 x 10 inches.
Provenance / Authentication Note: This item originates from a single-owner collection assembled by a dedicated sports fan (with a strong focus on Notre Dame and New York Yankees memorabilia). The collector actively pursued autographs over many years through in-person events, including games, autograph shows, and visits to National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum during player events, as well as through direct mail requests to athletes and celebrities. The collection included supporting material such as handwritten correspondence sent to athletes (in some cases with payment enclosed), along with photographs of the collector with various signers. A portion of this same collection was featured in our March 21st auction, where multiple items were authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA). In regards to any items with signature(s): While this specific item(s) may not be individually submitted for third-party authentication, it originates from the same collection and shows consistency with previously authenticated pieces. As with many large autograph collections, there may be a small number of facsimile or clubhouse-style signatures present, but for the most part we have seen AUTHENTIC SIGNATURES within the collection. Based on the overall provenance and our review, we maintain a strong level of confidence in the authenticity of most items. Bidders are encouraged to review all photos carefully and bid according to their own level of comfort. No additional authentication documentation is included unless visible within the lot photos. Please reach out with any questions.
Condition report:
Both items appear to be in excellent condition. There are no visible creases, tears, or stains on the photograph or the commemorative card. The blue ink signatures are bold and show no signs of fading. All accompanying authentication stickers and certificates are present and correctly matched to the items.
