Description
Signed 1971 Topps Thurman Munson - All-Star Rookie #5 BAS Authentic. The August 2, 1979 news hit the Yankee faithful like the proverbial ton of bricks. Much like the Kennedy assassination, any Yankee fan who was active in their rooting that year remembers exactly where they were when the news that Munson's plane had gone down and that the beloved team captain had not escaped. The beating heart that had delivered his ballclub from its longest championship cold streak since Babe Ruth led it to its first was suddenly stopped and that year the second, even longer drought would begin. This was no coincidence. Despite an absence from Cooperstown, Munson remains one of the most significant Yankees in pinstriped history and likewise remains the most sought after and valuable figure in the collectibles market of those players active within the past five decades.Here we are pleased to present one of the most significant Munson autographs to reach the auction block in recent years, a 1971 Topps #5 where the backstop is emerging from a cloud of infield dust in an issue that has bedeviled collectors since its inception. Munson signed in blue pen just above the signature printed on the card. Encapsulated BAS Autograph Authentic.
