(LOT 619)
Mel Ott Signed Albertype B&W HOF Plaque Type 2 PSA/DNA

A dead-pull left-handed slugger, Master Melvin and the Polo Grounds' short right field porch were a match made in heaven, responsible for the expansion of the 500 Home Run Club to a trio. Ott's fatal automobile accident in 1958 has made his the scarcest of signatures from the Club, and we find a marvelous 9/10 fountain pen example on this black and white plaque postcard issued shortly after his Cooperstown induction. Encapsulated "Authentic" by PSA. Address is in Ott's handwriting on reverse. Very strong signature.

MIN BID $300
