Roger Maris to this day is considered by many the real single season home run king, lighting up the baseball World in 1961 by hitting "61 in 61", eclipsing Mantle & The Babe in the process. Despite the fame of becoming the single season home run king, Maris would often step away from the limelight, including when he would sign many baseballs. Maris single signed baseballs are among the most desirable of all non-Hall of Fame signatures, but even more scarce is the elusive signed jersey by the former Yankees Slugger. Offered here is an ULTRA-RARE signed New York Yankees style jersey signed in bold black felt tip marker by Roger Maris in near-perfect positioning. Overall in fine condition with minor staining. It's worth noting this is the first signed jersey by Maris we have ever handled! Authenticated by PSA/DNA with a full letter of authenticity.
