Their COAs are considered ancient and archaic by today's standards , but they were one of the first , if not the first promoters / companies , to issue COAs with their products.
This particular piece was signed at their 3000 hit club show in Atlantic City . My partner and I and our wives attended the show and it was packed . We got 100 of these posters completely signed at that show privately before the show and another 50 baseballs and 50 bats completely signed during the show. The added attraction to this show was that Ron Lewis the artist was there signing the posters for free if you wanted to wait...many people chose to skip getting Ron's signature in person in order to get the desired player's signature due to time constraints. Some posters were sold after the show by National Pastime and came with the same COA as if you were at the show. It never listed the number of autographs gotten on the poster , so if you got 1 or all of them the same COA was given out at the end of the signing line or thru the mail.
The COA that you show is the exact one from the show.
From your post and photos I would have no trouble with this piece .
