Default 1912 Signed M101-2 Jeff Tesreau Dr. Steen Collection died 1946

Please note that this item currently resides in a Beckett slab with authentication from JSA. There is also a full PSA DNA LOA that will come with it as well.

Tesreau is a super tough autograph in any format due to his year of death.

He was a workhorse for the Giants from 1912-1918. He averaged 20 wins per year over his first five years in the majors. His hits allowed per nine innings over his first four years in the majors was an astonishing 6.8 per nine. In 1918 he got into an altercation with John McGraw and never played organized ball again.

This is likely the only signed "card" of Tesreau in existence. Signed prewar cards are about as hot as anything on the planet at the moment. Signed M101-2's from the Dr. Steen collection are always in very high demand.

Asking $600 delivered.
