Dizzy Dean signed clipping AND H.O.F. Plaque Card
Jay Hanna "Dizzy" Dean(January 16, 1910 – July 17, 1974) was a Hall of Fame pitcher. During his Major League career, he played for the St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Browns. A brash and colorful personality, he is the last National League pitcher to win 30 games in one season (1934). After his playing career, “Ol’ Diz” became a popular television commentator. Dean was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1953.

AUTHENTICATION - About 50 years ago, when I first began collecting sports memorabilia, I discovered Jack Smalling's very first baseball autograph collectors handbook (the original was mimeographed--I still have it). Nearly every day, as a high school teenager, I would check off five-to-ten names on my list. I'd write each player (mostly retired players) a brief customized letter, enclose five 3x5 index cards or sometimes a Sporting News clipping, and also--most importantly--a self-addressed stamped envelope (stamps were a nickel in those days). Nearly every day, I would receive four or five prizes in the mailbox, sometimes with five signed cards, sometimes with just one. One out of twenty would even enclose a HOF Plaque card or a small autographed photo. I'd estimate that my percentage of success was somewhere between fifty and sixty percent. The item you're considering here was one of those items. Over the years, I've sold a bunch via EBAY (I have a perfect feedback record: https://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=coolstuffsports ) and a bunch to sports memorabilia shops.
