Cy Young Signed First Day Cover JSA LOA
Cy Young has signed this First Day cover in bold fountain pen, which includes a postmarked stamp from Cooperstown dated June 12th, 1939, marking a defining moment in baseball history. On this day, Cooperstown was officially declared the baseball capital of the world, as the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum hosted its inaugural Induction Ceremony, honoring legendary figures like Babe Ruth. In 1956, a year after Young's passing, the prestigious Cy Young Award was established to annually recognize the best pitcher in Major League Baseball, later extended to each league. This award forever cemented Young's legacy as the ultimate symbol of pitching excellence. Young's signature on this cover has been authenticated and encapsulated by both Beckett and JSA, with JSA providing a letter of authenticity. This signed cover is a truly remarkable and historic piece of baseball memorabilia.
