The second Major League Baseball team to call the great white north of Canada home, the Toronto Blue Jays would be the first Canadian team to win the World Series and bring it north of the border, doing so in back-to-back seasons of 1992 and 1993 on the backs of timely hitting and shut down pitching over the course of 162 regular season games and playoff match ups with the best teams in baseball at the time. Offered here, we present this collection of Toronto Blue Jays autographs that includes numerous names that were a part of those World Series championship squads. Paced by a program from the "Back 2 Back - 92/93 World Series Reunion" gala dinner that took place on August 8th, 2009 in Toronto, an interior page displaying an image of the Commissioners Trophy has been signed by thirteen (13) including Dave Steib, Cito Gaston, Paul Beeston and others, with all the signatures penned in blue marker ink and displaying well while the program shows light handing wear and evidence of folding. Also including a vintage style Blue Jays hat made by American Needle that is tagged as being a size "7 5/8" on the interior, the likes of Joe Carter, Dave Steib, Jesse Barfield, Roberto Alomar, Devon White and others have signed over the crown and brim with either blue or silver marker ink signatures that display without issue. Of note, an AJ Sporting hologram is affixed to the underside of the brim, matching the one on the included COA for the autograph of Joe Carter. For the rest of the collection, included is a copy of Sports Illustrated's November 2nd, 1992 issue that shows the World Series celebration over the front cover which has been signed by the likes of; Ward, Hentgen, Olerud, Stewart, Cox, Sprague, Williams, Alormar, White, Maldonado, Steib and Butler while a Canada Post "Day of Issue" stamp/envelope celebrating the 25th anniversary of the franchise is also included and has been signed by names such as; Borders, Gruber, Carter, Cone, Steib, Gaston, White, Olerud, Alomar, Key, Guzman, Henke, Morris, Moliter and others. Both items remain in good condition with light evidence of handling wear observed. Finally, finishing off the collection is a group of signed cards and photographs that feature signatures from names such as; Stieb, Ward, Cox, Carter, Gruber, Gilick, Key, Sprague, Gaston, Borders, Whitt, Halladay, Delgado, Bautista, Green, Guzman and others, which are all in good condition with light signs of wear observed while all the signature have been penned in either black, blue or silver marker ink and display without issue for the most part with just some showing light signs of fading. An excellent collection for any Blue Jays enthusiast! A JSA Auction LOA will accompany.
