Description

Most dominant pitcher in the National League

Vintage pencil signature, “G. C. Alexander,” on an off-white irregularly clipped lined slip. Matted and framed with a photo of Alexander on the mound, to an overall size of 13.75 x 18. In fine condition, with a light shade of toning and a couple trivial wrinkles. COA Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
