Looking for HOF Baseball Autographs? Check Out Some Coins

Thirty players enshrined in the Baseball Hall of Fame now have signed insert labels for Professional Coin Grading Service-certified 2014 Hall of Fame commemorative gold, silver and clad coins struck by the United States Mint. PCGS is a sister company to PSA.

The autograph lineup also includes a dozen other All-Star major league players, as well as Olympic softball gold medal winner Jennie Finch and artist Cassie McFarland, who designed the curved baseball glove obverse of the Hall of Fame coins.

"The Hall of Fame coins have been extremely popular with coin and sports memorabilia collectors. Combining PCGS certification of the coins with authentic signatures of Hall of Fame players' autographs on the inserts is a great way to enjoy both hobbies. So, we've been adding more former stars of the game to the autograph lineup," said "Miles" Michael Standish, vice president of PCGS.

Standish attended 75th anniversary Hall of Fame induction ceremonies weekend in Cooperstown, New York, July 25-28. Three of this year's inductees are now among the players who have signed PCGS inserts for certified HOF coins.

The HOF players participating in the autograph program are:

Other former major league players who also have signed PCGS insert labels are: Bill Buckner, Doc Gooden, Pedro Martinez, Minnie Minoso, Dale Murphy, Tony Oliva, Jimmy Piersall, Pete Rose, Lee Smith, Darryl Strawberry and Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams.
