Lot # 1770: Signed 1973 Topps #103 Celerino Sanchez - PSA/DNA - Signature Rarity!

1973 Topps card #103 Celerino Sanchez signed by him in blue ink across the front. PSA/DNA has encapsulated the card and certified the signature as “Authentic” (submitted by REA). The signature of third baseman Celerino Sanchez on a Topps card is exceedingly rare. Sanchez, who was from Mexico, lasted only two seasons (1972-1973) in the Major Leagues, both of which were spent as a member of the Yankees. Immediately afterwards, he returned to Mexico to play professional baseball until 1979. He passed asway in 1992 at the young age of 48. This is one of only five signed examples of this card certified by PSA/DNA.
