1951  Chief  Bender Signed Government Postcard
<B>1951 Charles Albert "Chief" Bender Signed Government Postcard.</B></I> A fellow Carlisle Indian School alumnus of the great Jim Thorpe, Charles Albert Bender provided the bulk of his Hall of Fame services to Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics, where he gained a well-deserved reputation as a clutch performer in the big game. Three years before his passing he graciously fulfilled a fan's autograph request with this penny postcard, adding the date of "1951" to his 10/10 black ink signature. Postmarked "St. Louis, MO., July 14, 1951," the postcard shows light, inconsequential toning. Encapsulated by PSA/DNA for protection and unquestioned authenticity.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Sportscard (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
