(LOT 273)
1933 Goudey #42 SIGNED Eddie Collins (To Jimmy Kehe) – PSA 8 AUTO – One of Only 7 PSA Encapsulated Specimens!
This spectacular 1933 Goudey #42 Eddie Collins offering has been boldly signed in black fountain pen by the immortal Hall of Fame second sacker. Personalized to ardent fan Jimmie Kehe, the entire salutation reads; "Best Wishes – To Jimmie Kehe – Eddie Collins", with PSA grading the Collins autograph an "8 NM-MT." Baseball historians consider Collins to be one of the greatest all-time second baseman. His statistical achievements over a sensational 25-year career solidify that notion including a staggering .333 lifetime average, 741 stolen bases and 3,315 safeties, with Collins also regarded as one of the finest fielders of his era. Finding a scripted Eddie Collins Goudey is synonymous to finding "a needle in a haystack" with only six other PSA authenticated examples listed on their "Pop" Chart. Its rarity is justified by the $4.1K sale of another scripted example back in August 2020, with the recent soaring signed card market obviously escalating that value to unprecedented heights!
