Carl Erskine AUTOGRAPH 2005 UD Past Time Pennants Signatures On Card Auto

Description: One of the last survivors from the celebrated “Boys of Summer” Brooklyn Dodgers teams of the 1950s, Carl Erskine, recently passed away at the age of 97. Playing his entire career with the Dodgers from 1948-1959, he was a stalwart in the starting rotation. Erskine helped the Dodgers win five NL Pennants, finally winning it all in 1955. During his career “Oisk” pitched 2 no-hitters, and was a 20-game winner in 1953. This striking certified autographed card of Carl Erskine was originally inserted in the 2005 Past Time Pennants product released by Upper Deck. While small in size (the set is made up of 90 cards), this release was packed with stars! But, beyond the great photos used, the innovative idea to include a small felt pennant in every box of previous World Series combatants was really groundbreaking! Upper Deck included a natural signing area on the card front which really made the autographs pop. This particular version of the autograph is from the “Signatures Silver” line, as the signatures were broken up into three parallels: common - Bronze; rare - Silver; super rare - Gold. Each parallel was easily recognizable by the color of the print of the product name, as well as the color of the post hoisting up the pennant box the autograph was signed within. Here you can see a young Carl Erskine from his days in Brooklyn amongst his teammates, sitting above a blazing blue ink autograph that Carl signed directly on the card front.
