Incredibly rare (and possibly the only known) full name signature evaluated as Authentic and encapsulated by PSA/DNA with an autograph grade of Mint 9. The offered "Denton T. (Cy) Young" (d.1955) cut autograph, affixed to a 6 x 4-1/2" album page, spans a remarkable 4-1/4". The flowing blue ink script is uninterrupted by any technical deficiency, save a few minor paper creases through "Denton" that do not affect that overall presentation. Beneath the autograph an unknown hand listed the career achievements of the prolific Hall of Famer in period pencil. Research has shown a variety of iterations of his signature, however we have never seen this exact format ever offered at public auction!
