1957 Signed Autographed Billy Pierce Sport Magazine Chicago White Sox

Description

Signed Sport Magazine of White Sox Billy Pierce
During the 1980's and 90's I attended many baseball card shows and obtained autographs in person. I would also mail out directly to a players house or a personal signing. This is an actual Sport Magazine from October 1957 with a perfect fine fine sharpie signature. I obtained this autograph in person in the early '90s.

(April 2, 1927 – July 31, 2015) was an American
