This 1961 Post Cereal Roger Maris card (#7 — Perforated) bears Maris' authentic autograph directly on the card surface, authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA. The card was issued the same season Maris would shatter Babe Ruth's single-season home run record with his immortal 61 homers in 1961 — making this a time capsule artifact from perhaps the most dramatic individual season in baseball history. The card format — a baseball star card issued on cereal boxes, perforated and manually removed by the consumer — lends a charming vernacular quality to an otherwise remarkable piece. Maris' signature appears in black ink over the photo with characteristic mid-career boldness. The card shows condition wear consistent with its cereal-box origin and perforated format. PSA/DNA authentication confirms the signature as genuine. Given Maris' 61-homer season, his scarcity as an autograph subject (he passed away in 1985), and the historical resonance of this particular card issue, this signed specimen is a truly exceptional artifact.
