Reggie Jackson Signed Photo, 1977 WS. Friends for a Day, Billy Martin. Steiner

Description: Reggie Jackson 1977 W.S Signed & Inscribed 16x20 Photo with Billy Martin. Steiner Sometimes, in this wonderful hobby, a signer adds an atypical inscription to an item. This often comes with an additional "upcharge." While such inscriptions were once only typically made by extremely enthusiastic collectors or fans and might have been seen as an overzealous "waste of money" by hobby purists, these special inscriptions have now become highly coveted, premium items in the hobby. They are rare to find and often fetch significantly higher prices at auction compared to items that are simply signed without such inscriptions. This is one such photograph, and we made sure to acquire it. It had been tucked away in an advanced collector's home for decades, and we were finally able to purchase it. The inscription is absolutely perfect—truly fitting for the piece! This is a truly unique photograph, one we have never encountered before and can't imagine finding another like it. Measuring an impressive 16 x 20 inches, it features both Reggie Jackson and Billy Martin smiling at one another—a rare moment in itself. The best part: Reggie has inscribed it, "After Game 6, 77 W.S. ' friends at least for a day,'" and then signed his name. All the writing is in bold blue Sharpie ink, adding to the piece's vibrancy. This is a stunning photograph that carries immense significance, making it a one-of-a-kind offering. Its importance is truly extraordinary. These two larger-than-life personalities, Reggie Jackson and Billy Martin, did not get along and made no effort to hide it. They fought on the field, clashed in the clubhouse and dugout, divided the team, and constantly aired their grievances about each other to The Boss. But as the saying goes, "winning solves everything." The Yankees won their first World Series in 15 years in 1977, and things between them settled—well, "at least for a day." Perhaps that was because Reggie hit three consecutive massive home runs in the clinching Game 6 of that series. So how could Billy not smile, as he is in this photo? To call the image iconic barely scratches the surface—it's nothing short of legendary! After years of trying to acquire this piece from its owner, we’re thrilled to have finally made the purchase. Reggie Jackson was ahead of the curve when it came to charging more for inscriptions, a practice he started back in the 1990s. He did exclusive private signing sessions with Steiner Sports during that time. However, the original owner of this piece didn’t hesitate—likely just smiled and paid the price. And, in hindsight, that recipient was quite prescient indeed. If you're a Yankees fan, don't miss out on this incredible piece—it's truly a gem! The photo comes with the Steiner hologram affixed in the lower right corner for authentication. Ships FedEx/UPS/USPS with Insurance. Questions?5514863768!
