Description: IMPORTANT NOTE: I have recently decided to make some of the premier items from my legendary, six decade personal collection available to the public. While I am not keen on letting these items go, I feel that due to the escalation of values, it is the prudent thing to do. Since I am making these items available reluctantly, I am not going to be able to offer much in the way of discounts. The item listed below is one of those items. Due to the fact that this card is currently in my collection binder, it has not yet been and may never be sent out for encapsulation. So for those collectors who prefer encapsulation over keeping cards in plastic sheets and binders like I do, you are welcome to get it encapsulated on your own after purchase. Card has been authenticated by JSA and comes with JSA LOA. DESCRIPTION: This is an opportunity to purchase an authentically autographed ORIGINAL 1963 Topps baseball card - 1963 Rookie Stars - card #537, known as the PETE ROSE ROOKIE CARD. This HIGH NUMBER card has been signed by ALL 4 players pictured - PEDRO GONZALEZ, KEN McMULLEN, PETE ROSE & AL WIES. All four have signed this card PERFECTLY, by their respective image. Gonzalez, Rose & Weis have signed in blue ballpoint pen and McMullen has signed in green sharpie. Card has great eye appeal. Has great gloss, and aside from a small spot at top left, is free of surface wear. Card is off-center, left to right and contains a light est. "1" vertical crease starting at top right edge going down between the "R" & "S." Very RARE to find this card signed by all 4, especially with the location and quality of the signatures. Comes with KOA LOA & guaranteed to pass any third party authentication. See photo of Pete signing this card - on 4/28/12. SHIPPING: $150.00. Items shipped first class mail, with delivery confirmation/insurance. I do combine shipping fees, no additional charge for additional items. PAYMENT: Pay Pal is accepted. I also accept other forms of payment, feel free to inquire. BACKGROUND: A pioneer in the autograph field, I have six decades of first-hand autograph experience. I began collecting autographs in-person in 1960, and have collected ever since - all sports, music, politics and more. I am a well-known and respected figure in the autograph field, known as "The King of Autographs" (KOA.) AUTHENTICITY: Purchase with confidence! All autographed items are guaranteed authentic for life. I only offer autographed material of names I have first-hand experience with, whose signatures I know very well and am 100% sure of their authenticity. All signed items $25 and above receive a personalized Letter of Authenticity (LOA) on my KOA letterhead, which includes a photo of the item (see sample LOA.) The LOA provides authentication certification, and eliminates the need for encapsulation or an unsightly and unnecessary sticker on the item. PROVENANCE: Many signed items offered come with provenance (knowledge of history and origin of the item) - and of those, many were obtained personally by myself and others were obtained by longtime collector friends. This is an added bonus that very few sellers are able to provide. AUTHENTICATION: I am regarded by veteran hobbyists as the top first-hand autograph expert in the business! I am president of a third-party autograph authentication firm, FIRST-HAND AUTHENTICATION (FHA.) FHA is the only autograph authentication firm where all authentications are based on first-hand experience.
