1933 Goudey #56 Signed Charlie "Red" Ruffing from the Uncle Jimmy Collection - PSA 3.5 Card Grade/7 NM Auto Grade
This outstanding 1933 Goudey #56 Red Ruffing memento has been neatly signed "Red Ruffing" by the right-handed Hall of Fame twirler. Originating from the iconic "Uncle Jimmy Collection" that took the hobby by storm in 2020 and 2021, the black fountain pen "Red Ruffing" signature has been conservatively assigned a "7 NM" grade by the illustrious PSA company for Ironclad authenticity. Additionally, of utmost significance is the seldom seen PSA 3.5 VG+ card grade, with most pre-war signed card reflecting poor surface quality and average at best aesthetics.

Ruffing's classic portrait image depicts an almost "3D" quality, courtesy of the imposing dark blue background. Atypically, no glaring surface flaws are evident on either side, with the timeless Ruffing script the highlight of this 89-year-old heirloom. Ruffing tallied 272 wins in a formidable 22-year career, joining forces with Lefty Gomez to ably assist the Yankees in winning six world championships. Synonymous with his winning ways is the championship caliber of this signed 1933 Goudey subject, unearthed from the Uncle Jimmy Collection for bona fide provenance!
