Heart and soul of the 1970s New York Yankees. On August 2, 1979, Thurman was practicing touch-and-go landings at the Akron-Canton Airport with his newly purchased Cessna Citation. The twin-engine jet fell 1000 feet short of the runway during an attempted landing and burst into flames. Munson was killed in the accident while two others were injured. Glossy 4 x 5 photo of Munson in the dugout in his Yankee pinstripes, signed and inscribed in black felt tip “To Lee, Thurman Munson.” Encapsulated in a plastic PSA/DNA authentication holder, grading the autograph “Mint 9.” In fine condition. RRAuction COA.
