1955 Dodgers Program Covers Signed by Mantle, Koufax, DiMaggio, Other HoFers.
Lot 158. 1955 Dodgers Program Covers Signed by Mantle, Koufax, DiMaggio, Other HoFers. The autograph of Mickey Mantle stands out boldly on the back cover, and it could be separated, matted and displayed. The cover has a vertical tear that bisects the “l” and has been reinforced on the back. It does little to detract from an otherwise 10 signature. Other signatures on the back cover are by Casey Stengel, Elston Howard, Frank Frisch and Paul Kerr, president of the Hall of Fame Museum. The front cover has a note concerning the strikeout record set by Sandy Koufax on Aug. 27, 1955. Koufax has signed the cover, along with Emil Dutch Leonard, W. D. Eckert, former baseball commissioner, Pee Wee Reese, Mickey Owen, John Schulte, Ford Frick, Lefty Gomez, Bill Dickey, Duke Snider, Whitt Wyatt, Joe DiMaggio, Joe McCarthy, Don Drysdale and Vin Scully. ALSO, JERRY COLEMAN, KEN KELTNER AND PETE COSCARART. The program has 24 autographs, including 13 by Hall of Fame members. Authenticated by Kevin Keating. Proceeds from the sale of this lot will benefit the Society for American Baseball Research, a non-profit membership organization open to all that fosters the research, preservation, and dissemination of the history and record of baseball.
Winning Bid $332.
