| SIGNER: Jim Northrup APPROXIMATE SIZE: 3-1/2'x5-1/2" MARKS / STAMPING: Hand-signed by Jim Northrup ORIGINAL or REPRINT: Original COMMENTS / CONDITION: Standard 3-1/2''x5-1/2'' postcard (featuring the ''Sand Lot Kid'' statue at Doubleday Field in Cooperstown, NY on the front) which has been hand-signed by Jim Northrupcollector. Comes from a collection of signed postcards assembled by a collector in the late 1980s-early 1990's (judging by the signers). All autographs in this particular collection are on the same medium: a photo postcard of the "Sand Lot Kid" statue outside Doubleday Field in Cooperstown, NY. Some of the players signed the front (photo) side of the postcard, some the back, and a few signed both sides (just to be sure). The name and rookie year of the player is pencilled on the back of each card, assumedly by the collector. For the sake of time, only the signature side of each card has been scanned. If you need to see the other side, please let me know. As with all of my signed items, the signature is guaranteed to pass further inspection by any major authenticator, or your money back. See scans for signature quality and photo condition. BIO: James Thomas Northrup was born in 1939 in Breckenridge, MI and died in 2011 in Grand Blanc, MI. He went to college at Alma College. He played major league baseball from 1964 to 1975 as outfielder for the Detroit Tigers, Montreal Expos and the Baltimore Orioles, and appeared in the 1968 World Series. Northrup was a quarterback in college, and the Chicago Bears and New York Titans reportedly offered him contracts before he ultimately decided on a baseball career. After his playing career ended, Northrup spent a decade as a Detroit Tigers television broadcaster. SKU: L08614
