Still the most sought after bench mark in baseball even though it’s become a more common achievement in recent years, the 500 Home Run Club remains one of baseball’s most exclusive fraternities. All 27 current members of the 500 Home Run Club living and dead, revered and reviled, are gathered in this marvelous multi-media signed display. This 41” x 43” mounted exhibit contains signed black and white photos of Babe Ruth and Mel Ott, a Jimmie Foxx cut over a lithograph of his likeness, 11 baseball cards signed by Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey Jr., Jim Thome, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro, Manny Ramirez, Frank Thomas, Gary Sheffield, Eddie Murray and David Ortiz, as well as a pair of 8” x 10” prints of Mark McGwire and Albert Pujols and artist Ron Lewis’s 1988 classic 18” x 36” “500 Home Run Hitters” lithograph of the 11 living members of the club at the time signed by: Ted Williams, Frank Robinson, Harmon Killebrew, Reggie Jackson, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, Mike Schmidt, Ernie Banks, Eddie Mathews and Willie McCovey. All signatures except for Ruth, Foxx and Ott are in bold blue or black sharpie and this amazing assemblage comes with multiple PSA/DNA LOAs (W03977 Ruth, W03978 Ott, W03979 11 player lithograph) COAs (Q 90364 Pujols and S 70103 McGwire) and Authentic Autos (full sheet for Murray, Foxx, Thome, Sheffield, Ortiz, Thomas, Bonds, Rodriguez and Ramirez).
