Help with a signed Bob Feller card

[bobbyw8469]

I recently picked up this Bob Feller card that appears to be signed by Bob, and I am thinking his wife Anne??? Does this appear real to ya'll?? And if so, does having the wife sign the card hurt the value of it?

Cool but very odd piece. That was indeed his wife's name but it doesn't look like there is anything noteworthy about her connection to the game other than being Bob's wife. While, I would think it would hurt the value, who knows. I would assume it's likely the only 52 topps card signed by both and to me it makes it more of an interesting piece than simply Bob Feller, HOF 1962.

Having her autograph on there hurts it in my opinion. Feller signed a ton but probably not a ton of 1952 Topps cards.

I have never had a piece signed by both the player and his wife. Very odd to me.

Hurts the value - most collectors would be turned off by it or might not want the card at all.

Maybe they were at an appearance together or something so the owner got them both to sign it.

I'm sure...but what can I do with it?? PSA won't grade it with her name on there...will they?

They might authenticate both sigs but it likely would make it unqualified to go into any registered set.

Personally, I think it is kind of cool and def unique. Bob’s signature is so common, I don’t think there would be a big downside.

I think it's pretty darned cool. If interested, I have a MCI Ambassadors of Baseball card that shows him in his Navy CPO uniform and Indians uniform. He signed it while on board USS Independence CV-62 right in front of me. It means a lot to me, but I would trade it for your 52 Topps husband and wife card.

Cool piece, I think it is super cool also.

Just one random opinion but I also think it's cool but I'd pay about half of what I'd pay if it was just Bob on there.

+1 that thing is great as Tony the Tiger would say.

Since you posted it in the BST section how much do you want for it?
