An Autographed Cut Book Page (measures 4" x 4 3/4") (Learn More) Carl Hubbell was a major league baseball player from the 1920s to the 1940s, playing exclusively for the New York Giants. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1947. He is perhaps best remembered for his performance in the 1934 All-Star game, when he struck out in succession five of the game's great hitters: Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons and Joe Cronin. He was nicknamed both "King Karl" and "The Meal Ticket" (an ancient idiom meaning someone you could always count on). He passed away in 1988 at the age of 85. Important Added Info: Note that this cut book page has been personally autographed (signed) by Carl Hubbell! Note that this item was consigned to us by an individual who owned a company that made movies and videos with famous celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. The owner of the company would have the celebrities sign items from their famous films, and he also had correspondence with many famous celebrities which he saved. In addition, he would sometimes ask celebrities he came in contact with if they had signed items from other stars that they would sell to him, and he purchased a number of items that way. He also would purchase unsigned items from the famed Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Los Angeles or from other reputable Hollywood book stores and poster shops (to have the celebrities sign), and while he was doing that he would also purchase some of their signed items. So all of these autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained in person, obtained from celebrities who obtained them in person, or obtained from reputable Hollywood book stores, and we feel certain that the autograph(s) on this item is authentic! Condition: very good. The image was cut from a book page and was once lightly folded down the middle. Learn More about condition grades
