I picked up this Campanella PSA slabbed index card Pre-Accident autograph that was in a frame and I took the slab out of the frame to do something different with the Campy and this autograph was on the back of the index card which couldn't be seen since it was matted and framed. Any idea who it could be? Has to be someone from before Campys accident so late 50's of before. First name maybe Roger? Thanks

Don't know if it's authentic or not, but that is supposed to be Ralph Branca, the dude that served up the famous homerun to lose the pennant I believe.

Good call Mike. I believe you are right. I didn't even think about it being Branca which would make sense since it is on the back of the Campy.
