Unlined index card signed by Hall of Fame second baseman Eddie Collins. PSA/DNA has encapsulated the card and certified the signature as "Authentic." Collins has boldly scripted his name and team affiliation ("Phila Athletics") in black fountain, with the signature grading "10." The card (4 x 3 inches), which has been trimmed to its current dimensions, displays a small edge tear along the right border and has been affixed to what was presumably its original mailing envelope. Collins played with the A's from 1906 to 1914, and then again from 1927 to 1930. He also served as a coach with the club in 1931 and 1932. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1939. Reserve $200.
