Carl Hubbell autograph on 3x5 PLUS historical clipping

This 3x5 is NOT personalized - just Carl Hubbell's signature. Accompanying this autograph is an historical newspaper clipping (dated July 11, 1934) from the Utica (N.Y.) Observer-Dispatch. The clipping is only in fair condition, but you would be, too, if you were 86 years old.

THIS WOULD BE A FANTASTIC PAIR OF PIECES TO BE FRAMED!!

Carl Hubbell(born June 22, 1903 – died November 21, 1988) pitched for the New York Giants. Twice voted the National League's MVP, Hubbell was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1947. During 1936 and 1937, Hubbell set the major league record for consecutive wins by a pitcher with 24. He is perhaps best remembered for his performance in the 1934 All-Star Game when he struck out five future Hall of Famers - Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons and Joe Cronin – in succession.

3x5 is in EXCELLENT condition!

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. 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.
