Josh Gibson items
 

I know his stuff is extremely scarce but was curious to see if anyone has any items of his they could share. Greatly appreciated. Also does anyone know how many known examples of his autograph have been authenticated?

This seems to be the grail.

Outside of anything that can be documented as “game used”, that piece has to be the grail. One of the greatest pieces of memorabilia known to exist, and (true to form) PSA cannot even get it centered within the holder. Impressive!

Many years ago I had a barnstorming program that included the Rochester Red Wings and whatever team Gibson was playing for at the time. The program included a nice pencil autograph by Gibson. That's one I wish I still had. Sorry no image.

Wow some amazing stuff! Keep it coming

Hard to imagine anything better than that! There are a few Grays scorecards around where he is in the lineup, perhaps pictured also. Can't remember if he is in the Negro Leagues Yearbook from 1945 with Williard Brown of the Grays on the cover.

Nice!

As a Rochester resident I wish I could see it!

I looked through some old stuff and found a copy of the program. The game was played in Rochester in 1945 between the Rochester All Stars and the Homestead Grays. Gibson signed just below "Doser's Grill" and above the Rochester line up. I had forgotten that the autograph had been cut out of the program before I got it. You can see that in the scans. The signature was in pencil and presented much better than my copies show.

It looks like the first page of the program ended up upside down, but you get the idea. I had this way back in 1995.
