The star-studded lineup for the 1953 St. Louis Cardinals included the usual future Hall of Famers, among whom were Stan Musial and Enos Slaughter. This lightly toned ONL Giles baseball is signed in blue pen by 21 members of that team including Musial and Lowery on one panel; Repulski, Chambers, Slaughter, Presko, Elliott, Castiglione and Brazle on a second; Bilko, Schoendienst, Staley, Miller and Jablonski on a third; and Erautt, Ryba, Mizell, Marolewski, Rice and Yvars on a fourth. Remarkably, the signatures on this 50-year-old baseball rate a solid 9 on average. The autographs come with a letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA.
