Rare vintage glossy 6.5 x 8.5 photo of Ott amidst his powerful and unorthodox swing, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Buck Greene, With Best Wishes, Mel Ott.” In very good condition, with minor paper loss to upper right corner, small tear to lower right border, and moderate contrast to inscription and signature against the busy background. Trivial flaws to right border could be easily matted out and in no way affect the extraordinarily sharp image. At the time of his retirement in 1947, Ott held the National League career record for home runs with 511. Without a doubt the most desirable pose of any Ott signed photo that we have seen. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
