The United States was a very different place when this photograph was snapped and signed, and if you talk to any African-American alive during that tumultuous time, you'll understand just how important this trio was to the black community. This heroic trio of baseball legends is pictured in the Dodgers dugout during those earliest years of integration, each supplying a blue fountain pen ink signature on his respective image, averaging 7/10. The 8"" x 10"" photograph exhibits moderate handling wear on close inspection, most notably mild corner bends at top, but any deficiencies are only apparent upon close inspection. Regardless of the color of your skin, this is a piece that should inspire you and remind you that one man (or three) really can make a difference. Accompanied by full Letters of Authenticity from PSA/DNA & James Spence Authentication (JSA)."
