Nicknamed "Highpockets" because of his 6' 4" stature, George Kelly was a Hall of Fame first baseman, his election quite controversial because the Veterans Committee in 1973 consisted of several of Kelly's former teammates.  Kelly was an excellent defensive first baseman and lifetime .297 hitter who led the league in RBI twice and home runs once, a two-time World Series champion. Upon retirement, Kelly had a long career as a coach. His signature here has been authenticated and graded MINT 9 by PSA/DNA.  The card originates from the Shibe Park collection of autographed cards, an original owner collection carefully collected by a teenage boy who, in 1939 and 1940, obtained many autographs from players arriving at the train station near Shibe Park, and continued for many years to obtain signatures in person and through the mail.  One might not immediately notice, but two loose leaf paper reinforcements have been adhered to the top right and bottom left corners of this card.
