BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Bobby Thomson Autographed New York Giants Colorized Photograph with PSA/DNA COA
This lot features a colorized photograph hand-signed by Major League Baseball player Bobby Thomson. The image captures Thomson in a classic batting stance while wearing a New York Giants home uniform. The signature Bobby Thomson is inscribed in blue ink across the lower right quadrant of the photograph. This item is authenticated by PSA/DNA and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity with certification number H 09040. A matching tamper-evident hologram sticker is affixed to the reverse side of the photograph. The reverse side also includes printed text regarding Major League Baseball club insignia licensing.
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:
The photograph is in excellent condition, showing no apparent creases, tears, or significant surface wear. The signature is bold and well-preserved with no visible fading. The Certificate of Authenticity and the photograph itself appear well-maintained.
