Title:
Roger Maris Signed Photograph Cut — PSA/DNA Certified MINT 9

Description:
A striking black-and-white photograph cut signed by legendary New York Yankees slugger Roger Maris (1934–1985), best known for breaking Babe Ruth’s single-season home run record in 1961. Maris’s bold blue-ink signature appears cleanly across the lower portion of the image, which shows him in his Yankees uniform with bat in hand. The autograph remains exceptionally strong and well-centered, earning a MINT 9 grade from PSA/DNA for its pristine presentation and clarity. The photo cut is crisply framed within the encapsulation, making for an attractive and display-ready collectible.

Historical Context:
Roger Maris made baseball history during the 1961 season, when he hit 61 home runs, surpassing Babe Ruth’s longstanding record of 60 set in 1927. Though his feat was met with both admiration and controversy, Maris’s achievement has since become one of the most celebrated moments in Major League Baseball history. A two-time American League MVP and seven-time All-Star, Maris helped lead both the Yankees and later the St. Louis Cardinals to multiple World Series championships. His autograph remains a favorite among collectors due to his humble demeanor, brief signing period, and enduring association with one of baseball’s greatest records.
