BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Duke Snider Autographed 1992 TV Sports Mailbag Commemorative Hall of Fame Print A 1992 TV Sports Mailbag, Inc. commemorative baseball print featuring Hall of Fame outfielder Edwin Donald Duke Snider. The print depicts Snider in a Brooklyn Dodgers uniform and lists his career statistics and major league tenure with the Brooklyn Dodgers, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, and San Francisco Giants. The text details his induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on August 3, 1980. The item features a blue ink signature by Snider in the lower right section. Authentication is provided by a JSA (James Spence Authentication) sticker and a corresponding JSA Basic Certification card, both bearing the authentication number CH61227. The lower left margin is marked 1992 TV Sports Mailbag, Inc./Photo File, Elmsford, NY. 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 has not been 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. 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.
Condition report:
The item is in good condition with clean margins. No visible creasing, foxing, or surface wear is present. The signature remains bold and clear.
