1951 Bowman #7 card signed by Hall of Fame first baseman Gil Hodges in black felt tip pen. Sadly, Hodges passed away two days prior to his 48th birthday, in 1972, making for a tough pre-industry-boom signature. Card exhibits obvious scuffing and staining to front with a spot of paper loos in the top-right corner. Authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA. One of only nine signed 1951 Bowman Gil Hodges examples reflected on PSA's population report.
