Description

Rare signature of Arky Vaughan

Major League Baseball shortstop, described as one of the greatest hitting shortstops ever, batting over .400 in every season through 1941. He retired with 1173 runs scored, 96 home runs, 926 RBI, 118 steals, a .318 batting average (the second highest mark for a Hall of Fame shortstop) and a .406 on base percentage. At the age of 40, in 1952, while fishing in the ocean just off the coast of Eagleville, California, Vaughan and a friend were caught up in a storm, their boat sank, and the two men drowned. Vintage pencil signature, “Arky Vaughan,” on an off-white 2 x 2.25 slip, clipped from a newspaper. Signature is housed in a plastic PSA/DNA holder. In fine condition, with small touch of soiling over first name and a light overall shade of toning to slip. LOA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
