Description
Signed 1933 Goudey Dizzy Dean #223 PSA Good+ 2.5, PSA/DNA Auto 9 - Pop One, Four Higher - From the Southside Bobby Collection. From the Southside Bobby Collection. Jerome "Dizzy" Dean was a hard-throwing righthanded pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals who baffled opposing hitters with his best stuff. In fact, on the back of the offered 1933 Goudey card, it states: "Was named 'Dizzy' several years ago because he made the White Sox that way trying to bat against him." It continues: "In his second year in the National League set a modern league strikeout record when he fanned 17 Cubs in a game on July 30, 1933." Suffice it to say that Dean was an accomplished pitcher who brought his arsenal of tough-to-hit pitches against every team he competed. He played a total of 12 MLB seasons and even pitched for the Cubs, and when it was all said and done, Dean was inducted into Cooperstown in 1953. He finished his career with 150 victories, 1,163 punchouts and an overall ERA of 3.02.Presented is Dean's 1933 Goudey card which shows him as a member of the Cardinals' pitching staff following through on a pitch to home plate. This example of card #223 from the '33 Goudey set certainly shows it age with some surface wear and rounded corners but is greatly enhanced by Dean's sparkling signature on the front. Dizzy signed his name vertically in blue ballpoint pen along the right side and it's perfectly positioned just below his outstretched hand. Graded PSA Good+ 2.5 with an autograph certified and graded PSA/DNA Auto 9. This is the only autographed card graded GOOD+ in the PSA Pop Report with four rated higher.
The Southside Bobby Collection
Heritage Auctions is proud to present the second phase of The Southside Bobby Collection. The treasure trove of some 3,000 signed items includes trading cards, photos, and even Hall of Fame Plaque postcards that a young boy known as "Southside Bobby" and his father started collecting in the late 1950s. Growing up in Whiting, Indiana, just a half hour outside of Chicago, Bobby and his dad routinely visited the Windy City for nearly 10 years to take in Cubs, White Sox and Bears games. Their outings became autograph hunts, and their efforts were remarkable.
The assortment boasts signatures from Hall of Famers including Hank Aaron, Jim Brown, Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Mickey Mantle, Johnny Unitas, Ted Williams and many more. Since they are all period signatures, many are in ballpoint pen, which is often the preferred instrument by autograph collectors. Bobby's chases utilized any means possible including staking out hotels where visiting teams stayed as well as entrances and exits at Wrigley Field, Comiskey Park and even the Bears training camp at St. Joseph's College in Rensselaer, Indiana. Miraculously, thanks to Bobby's thoughtful mom, the incredible collection remained intact over the past 50-plus years.
But now it is time for Bobby to share it with fellow collectors. Stay tuned as more autographs from The Southside Bobby Collection will be coming up for bid over the coming months.
