Jim Bunning no-hitter newspaper (autographed)

This page from the July 30, 1958 Sporting News about Detroit Tiger pitcher Jim Bunning's no-hitter against the Red Sox is autographed by the late Hall of Famer.

This is NOT personalized - just Jim Bunning's signature

Jim Bunning (born Oct. 23, 1931 – died May 26, 2017) was elected to Cooperstown's Baseball Hall of Fame in 1996. He pitched from 1955 to 1971 for the Detroit Tigers, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates and Los Angeles Dodgers. When Bunning retired, he had the second-highest total career strikeouts in Major League history; he currently ranks 18th.

Good condition! (NOTE: clipping was attached with glue to a poster sheet - it's a single sheet, torn from that 1958 Sporting News)

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. If YOU aren't 100 percent satisfied, just return my item and I'll refund your money.
