Walt Bond appeared in 365 games over six seasons between 1960 and 1967 for the Cleveland Indians, Houston Colt .45s/Astros and Minnesota Twins. An outfielder and first baseman, he played the last five seasons of his 11-year professional career after being diagnosed with leukemia, while serving as a private first class in the United States Army in 1962.

Bond died of the disease in the closing weeks of the 1967 baseball season — a year during which he had made the Twins' roster coming out of spring training. He passed away 5 weeks shy of his 30th birthday, making his signature a tough one to find.

Offered here is a signed 3x5" index card from Bond, with his signature written in blue pen ink and Authenticated by PSA/DNA.
