Description: UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS AUTHENTIC LATE 1940's/EARLY 1950'S EXHIBIT BASEBALL CARD OF BOSTON RED SOX STAR SHORTSTOP VERN STEPHENS. IT IS THE VARIATION PICTURING HIM IN A BOSTON RED SOX UNIFORM. THIS EXAMPLE IS FROM MY LATE FATHER'S PERSONAL COLLECTION. VERN STEPHENS IS A MEMBER OF THE BOSTON RED SOX HALL OF FAME. VERN LED THE A.L. 3 TIMES IN RBI AND IN HOME RUNS IN 1945. HIS 159 RBI IN 1949 STILL IS AN ALL-TIME SINGLE SEASON RECORD FOR ANY SHORTSTOP. HE ALSO WAS THE FIRST SHORTSTOP TO HIT 30 HOME RUNS IN A SEASON. A CLEAN UP HITTER WITH A GREAT BATTING EYE, STEPHENS FINISHED IN THE TOP TEN IN MVP VOTING 6 TIMES AND IN THE TOP TEN IN BATTING AVERAGE 3 TIMES. HIS PHOTO LOOKS FOCUSED AND THE CARD HAS A NICE PICTURE SURFACE FEEL. THE CORNERS SHOW SOME MODERATE TO MORE USUAL TYPE WEAR OR A SMALL DING/WRINKLE NEARBY. UNDER CLOSER INSPECTION I NOTICED SOME LIGHT THIN EDGE WEAR IN A FEW PLACES, OFTEN FOUND ON VINTAGE CARDS. THIS CARD WAS ISSUED SOMETIME BETWEEN 1948 AND 1952, THE YEARS HE PLAYED FOR THE RED SOX. YOU CAN BUY IT NOW FOR ONLY $2.99. SHIPPING AND HANDLING IS $1.50. I TRY TO LEAVE PROMPT FEEDBACK AND TO PROVIDE FAST SHIPPING. I'LL ADJUST SHIPPING CHARGES FOR MULTIPLE AUCTION WINS SO PLEASE SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS.
