A beautiful crossover piece of postal and sport collecting, this First Day Cover cachet is a hand-tinted nod to Abner Doubleday for the baseball centennial. Using the centennial baseball stamp, the artwork depicts Doubleday himself, along with Doubleday Field and the "National Base Ball Museum." The cachet has been signed in our opinion rating a 9, in strong black ink by Johnny Evers, Hall-of-Fame member and one-third of the "Tinker to Evers to Chance" double play combination. Accompanied by an ALOA from JSA.
