PHIL RIZZUTO -- SIGNED PAGE FROM 1950 BOSTON RED SOX SCOREBOOK

Description

For your consideration, I am offering a page removed from a Boston Red Sox scorebook or program from 1950. I was able to determine the year by checking old Boston Red Sox schedules. On the page with the empty scorebox, the games listed with Philadelphia in September coincide with the 1950 Red Sox schedule.
The side of the page with the Chesterfield cigarette Ted Williams endorsement was signed by Hall of Famer Phil Rizzuto.
THIS AUTOGRAPH IS
GUARANTEED
TO PASS 3rd PARTY AUTHENTICATION.
This signed page was recently purchased from
the estate of former Hillsborough County, Florida Firefighter Rick Suarez.
Rick was a collector of signatures from a very young age. The first autograph he every obtained was that of Jimi Hendrix at a concert in Tampa. Rick who was 14 at the time found out which hotel Hendrix was staying at. A relative drove him to the hotel and Rick was able to get Hendrix' signature on a piece of paper.
As Rick grew, so did his passion for signatures and being able to meet the stars and develop a rapport with them. This collection was his lifelong hobby. Some firemen would go on business trips but Rick would learn where his favorite stars would be and head out for an autograph. Others learned of his passion and teased him, calling him “The Stalker'" which was a well earned name. However, Rick never did it for any other reason but for his love of all the music, sports, and people in general. He believed that if he had survived brain cancer, he would still be out for the excitement of it all.
Obviously, Rick did not get obtain Rizzuto's autograph in person. He did at times purchase or trade for autographs from other collectors. This page with Rizzuto's autograph was one of Rick's acquistions.
A copy of a Certificate of Authenticity from the auction house at which the estate was sold will be mailed with the page.
International shipping is extra.
Insurance is included in the shipping price.
I RECENTLY SOLD ANOTHER PAGE FROM THIS SCOREBOOK THAT WAS SIGNED BY HALL OF FAMER BILL DICKEY AND RED SOX STAR JACKIE JENSEN.
Thanks for your interest !!!
