Large-format photograph of the 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers, signed in blue fountain pen by all 30 players pictured, including Jackie Robinson. While 1947 Dodgers team-signed balls are plentiful in the hobby, photos are not. This is the first such example we have ever offered and we cannot recall the last time we saw another at auction. Each player has signed the piece on his respective image, with the signatures ranging from "5" to "9," averaging "7." The signatures featured here are those of Robinson, Reese, Vaughan, Hodges, Casey, Hatten, Walker, King, Bragen, Edwards, Miksis, Jorgenson, Bankhead, Hermanski, Gregg, Furillo, Barney, Taylor, Branca, Reiser, Rojek, Gionfriddo, Stankey, Lombardi, Pitler (coach), Shotton (Mgr.), Sukeforth (coach), Blades (coach), Lavagetto, and Behrman. The photo (16.25 x 10 inches) is in apparent Near Mint condition. Framed to total dimensions of 19.5 x 13.5 inches. An outstanding 1947 Brooklyn Dodgers team-signed item dating from Jackie Robinson's historic rookie season. Full LOA from James Spence/JSA. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot. Reserve $500. Estimate (open).
