BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Johnny Mize Autographed 8×10 New York Yankees Photo This sepia-toned 8×10 inch photograph depicts Baseball Hall of Famer Johnny Mize in a full-length batting stance. The subject is wearing a New York Yankees uniform, positioned against a stadium backdrop. The photograph features a hand-signed autograph in black ink located in the lower right quadrant. The item is authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA) and bears a tamper-evident certification sticker (CH61153) in the upper right corner. A corresponding JSA Basic Certification card is included with the lot. The image is printed on standard photographic paper. 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 photograph is in good overall condition. The signature is bold and exhibits no signs of fading. The paper surface is free of visible creases, tears, or significant abrasions. A small authentication sticker is adhered to the upper right corner of the image.
