New HoF Member Joe Gordon in an Early 1940s Granger Tobacco Display Ad.
Lot 229. New HoF Member Joe Gordon in an Early 1940s Granger Tobacco Display Ad. Acrobatic in the field, Gordon belted more home runs in fewer at bats than any major league second baseman before him. Although he lost two seasons to World War II, he still ranks among the major league’s top 200 all-time home run hitters. Yankees manager Joe McCarthy called him “the greatest all-round ballplayer I ever saw, and I don’t bar any of them….” He was finally admitted to membership in the Baseball Hall of Fame earlier this year. The colorful 13 ½” x 18” cardboard point-of-purchase ad pictures Gordon with his wife, Dotty. The condition is outstanding for a Granger ad, with only several very light creases in the lower right and light corner wear. Very attractive and desirable Granger example!
Winning Bid $393.
