Hack Wilson had one of the greatest years of all-time in 1930. He led the Major Leagues in home runs with 56 and RBI with a staggering 190. Wilson's 190 RBI that season is always considered one of the few records deemed to be unsurpassable.
Coinciding with that important 1930 season Chicago Cubs players were presented with personal photo albums. These leather bound albums were the creation of Chicago's most celebrated photographer George Burke and included 29 magnificent 4" x 6" black and white Burke player photos affixed to the heavy paper pages. Originating from the album of Cubs player George High Pockets Kelly the offered Hack Wilson photo is inscribed to his teammate and fellow Hall of Famer Best wishes George and all the luck in the world Hack Wilson. The signature and inscription are all in black fountain pen and have been rated GEM MINT 10 by PSA/DNA. The 4 by 6 photo remains affixed to its original 5 by 7 album page and shows virtually no significant wear. Hack Wilson signed photos are rare enough in and of themselves but one of such quality linking two prolific Hall of Famers is truly something special.
Full LOA from PSA/DNA (Auto. grade: GEM MINT 10).
