Ralph Branca and Bobby Thomson Dual signed
The Giants had entered the bottom of the ninth
down 4-1. Before Thomson came to bat with one
out, the Giants had scored a run to make it
4-2 and had runners at second and third.
Dodgers manager Charlie Dressen brought in
Ralph Branca to face Thomson. After taking
the first pitch for a strike, Thomson pulled
back, took a big cut and connected on the next
delivery, a fastball that was high and inside.
The ball was smashed down the left field line
just above the 315-foot sign and landed five
rows deep in the stands. Thomson's home run
gave the Giants a 5-4 victory over their biggest
rival and a trip to the World Series. Ralph
Branca and Bobby Thomson have both hand signed
this 8x10 photograph. A Steiner Sports Certificate
of Authenticity is included.
Each and every hand-signed collectible that
carries a tamper-proof hologram is witnessed by
a Steiner Sports representative. Once the
collectibles have been autographed, they are
cataloged and inventoried.
A notarized affidavit is prepared and signed by
the athlete and a Steiner Sports representative
. The notarized affidavit records the date and
location of the signing and also details the
items that were signed by the specified athlete.
This document is then secured within the Steiner Sports
main offices.
Each hand-signed collectible is examined for
quality and signature condition. If the
collectible meets the Steiner Sports standard
of excellence a tamper-proof Steiner Sports
hologram is affixed to the product.
Once the hand-signed collectible has
passed the steps listed above, a Steiner
Sports Certificate of Authenticity is created
for the collectible. The collectible is then
sealed and stored within our main office and is
not handled until it is delivered to a sports
collectible enthusiast.
