(LOT 1228)
George Sisler Signed Photo – Measures Approximately 8" x 10" – Full PSA/DNA LOA

This magnificent portrait image of the legendary Hall of Fame George Sisler has been boldly signed by the left-handed batting wizard in period-style fountain pen along his upper right shoulder. Measuring approximately 8" x 10", the image itself has been labeled along the bottom border as follows: "Greatest Living Player – First base – GEORGE SISLER", and presents itself in outstanding condition. The extremely well-centered stoic Sisler portrait pose exhibits fine resolution and near-perfect contrast, with no glaring flaws evident on either side. Of course, the critical aspect of this offering is the super clean "George Sisler" autograph that reveals solid "8/9" strength, with signed Sisler images few and far between.

Had it not been for an Optic Nerve infection that hindered his eyesight, Sisler may have contested Cobb for the highest lifetime average ever with the prolific batting first sacker twice eclipsing the .400 mark, including a remarkable .420 average in 1922. Until recently, he held the single season hit record with 257 hits in 1920 (a mark only recently surpassed by the popular Ichiro Suzuki), and still managed to end his career with a stellar .340 batting average. Therefore, we cannot imagine a finer testament for "Gorgeous George" than a brilliantly autographed illustration of this majestic Cooperstown Inductee who will forever stand as one of our National Pastime's greatest all-time hitters! The PSA/DNA LOA shows 3 items, but this lot has just the 8" x 10" Photo.
