Gil Hodges (D. 1972) was an American Major League Baseball (MLB) first baseman and manager who played most of his 18-year career for the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers. He was inducted into the New York Mets Hall of Fame in 1982.
Offered is Hodges 1968 Topps baseball card that he personally signed during the 4 year period between his tenure as skipper of the "Miracle Mets" and untimely passing in April 1972. A few ’69 Topps cards have popped up on the market for public auction, but we haven’t seen a signed 1968 Topps in years! This has been encapsulated authentic by PSA/DNA.
Card would grade EX plus and the autograph a 9 out of 10 in blue ballpoint.
