Okay Chicago White Soxfans, here's a chance at a TRULY RARE item !!
The backstory:
These autographs were gotten in
February, 1954. After the Braves came to Milwaukee in 1953 my family became
big baseball fans - my older brother (a Braves fan), and his best friend (a White Sox fan) - went to spring training down in Bradenton and Tampa, Florida areas back in Feb. 1954 with our Dads, and chased after autographs for a few days while the Dads sat and drank beer (according to my brother !)
This is a great
chance to get a great lot of White Sox
autographs - along with some VERY HARD TO FIND signatures as well !
I am selling this for my friend, and
ALL autographs are Guaranteed to pass any Third Party Authentication Service such as PSA/DNA, Jim Spence JSA, or Beckett !!
There are 23 autographs total, on pictures that came out of the 1954 Baseball Pictorial magazine.

Nelson Fox - Nellie is a VERY TOUGH autograph as he died in 1975. Hall of Fame 2nd baseman !

Break up value on these as 'cut' autographs is phenomenal !!
Autographs have tape on them - that was a common practice back then to 'preserve' them - much like shellacking baseballs back in the 1920's and 30's was done.
Awesome item for the White Sox collector, and would look great in your home, den, office, bar, or 'man cave' !!
