Coming off the franchise’s first World Series championship in 1955, the 1956 Brooklyn Dodgers shook off their “Dem Bums” persona and took time to sign this collection of flats. Boasting excellent penmanship, this group of period signed autographs averages (“8” to “10”) potency unless noted, on (18) sturdy GPCs/cuts (average EX) that are well suited for framed display. Featured are: (15) GPCs with 1956 postmarks, with: (3) accompanied by individual full photo LOA from JSA: Roy Campanella, Gil Hodges, Jackie Robinson; (12) with JSA basic certs/stickers: Walt Alston, Gino Cimoli, Roger Craig, Don Drysdale, Carl Erskine, Jim Gilliam, Randy Jackson, Sandy Koufax, Clem Labine, “Rocky” Nelson, Vin Scully (broadcaster), “Duke” Snider; and (3) 5 x 2-3/4” cuts with JSA basic certs/stickers: Charlie Neal, Don Newcombe, “Doc” Wendler (“6-7”, team trainer). This lot has a reserve. (Estimated value is $3,000-$5,000).
