Cut signatures of Kenesaw Landis and Clark Griffith, each individually encapsulated and certified "Authentic" by SGC. The Landis signature, in black fountain pen on an unlined sheet of paper (5 x 1 inches), is boldly scripted and grades "10." A tiny ink notation (not in Landis' hand) below his signature reads "Judge + High Commissioner of Organized Baseball." The Griffith signature, in black fountain pen on an unlined sheet of paper (4.25 x 2 inches), is flawlessly executed and grades "10." This signature was taken from a letter, as the signature is preceded by the typed notation "Yours most sincerely." The title, "President" is typed below his Griffith's name. The Griffith sheet displays two tiny areas of tape residue; otherwise both cuts are in Excellent condition overall. Each cut has been mounted onto an unlined index card (by means of clear tape). Total: 2 cuts. Auction LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $200. Estimate $400+.
