Count yourself fortunate, should you wind up as the winner of this dual-signed 1953 MLB All-Star Game program, which boasts a signature from the legendary Satchel Paige. At the ripe old age of 47, the Hall of Fame pitcher was named an AL All-Star for the second time in his career, by wizened manager Casey Stengel. Issued for the 7/14/53 Midsummer Classic at Cincinnati's Crosley Field, this big game program takes the field in fairly solid (VG) condition, with a tight spine, good gloss, bold colors, and a small tear on the bottom right corner. Scored for an NL victory, this program hosts autographs by Paige, and fellow Hall of Famer George Kell, with both signatures rating as ("7") strength examples. Auction LOA from JSA.
