This fantastic lot of a dozen autographed flats from the storied 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers is highlighted by a Jackie Robinson signed GPC (8/10 blue) and a Sandy Koufax signed 3x5 index card (8/10 black). Other players on 3x5's include 1957 All-Star Don Hoak, Don Bessant ("Best Wishes"), 1953 ROY Jim Gilliam, Dixie Howell ("Member 1955 Dodgers World Champs, Brooklyn that is, not LA."), and Karl Spooner (note responding to autograph seeker). Cuban outfielder Sandy Amoros has signed an 8x10 photo as has pitcher Billy Loes, both of whom were key contributors for the '55 Dodgers. Completing the group are three non-players: coach Jake Pitler (3x5), team physician/trainer Doc Wendler (cut) and comedian Happy Felton, who hosted Dem Bums' wildly popular pre-game TV show, "The Knothole Gang." Jackie and Sandy may lead the pack, but the signatures of Felton (died 1964), Pitler (d. 1968), Hoak (d. 1969), Spooner (d. 1984), Wendler (d. 1984) and Bessant (d. 1990) are rather scarce.
All but the two photos are encapsulated by PSA/DNA in Authentic holders. The photos come with COA cards from PSA/DNA. Pitler and Gilliam aslo have JSA COA cards.
