Description: Brooks Robinson, 1964-Date HoF Yellow Plaque Postcard - Autographed - JSA Auth.On the Player - Brooks Robinson Jr. (1937-2023) served as an MLB third baseman for the Baltimore Orioles from 1955 to 1977. Widely regarded as the premier defensive third baseman in the history of major league baseball, Robinson achieved remarkable accolades during his career. With 18 All-Star appearances, he secured an unprecedented 16 consecutive Gold Glove Awards, the highest among position players and tied with Jim Kaat for the second-most overall, surpassed only by Greg Maddux. Robinson's enduring impact is evident in his 2,870 career games at third base, a record that not only surpassed the closest competitor by almost 700 games at the time of his retirement but also stands as the highest number of games played by any player at a single position in major league history. Additionally, his remarkable tenure of 23 seasons with a single team set a major league record, a feat later equaled only by Carl Yastrzemski.On the Issue - The first Baseball Hall of Fame postcards were issued beginning in 1939. Various versions were produced until 1964. From 1964 to the present (with an interruption around 1979), Hall of Fame inductees have been honored by the Yellow Plaque Postcards issued by the Baseball Hall of Fame.Verification – The signature on this card underwent authentication by James Spence using an "Auction House Letter of Authenticity." Please consult the accompanying letter provided in this listing for reference. It is important to note that an auction house letter holds less value compared to an individual letter. The auction house letter's validity is limited to 45 days. Regrettably, the expense of converting this auction letter to an individual assessment amounted to approximately $20 per postcard, an additional expense that did not appear justified.
