1992 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes #28 Ted Williams Authentic Cut Signature and Game-Used Bat Card

This is a highly collectible multi-media sports card from the 1992 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes series honoring Ted Williams. The card features a sepia-toned image of Williams during his 1939 rookie year, framed within a circular border on a red and cream-colored card stock. Crucially, the card includes an 'Authentic Handwriting' component, appearing as a cut signature piece of lined paper with 'Ted' or initials in blue ink, and a 'Old Timers Game Used Bat' relic, visible as a small vertical wood sliver in the upper right corner of the encapsulated slab. The slab is issued by ‘JF Authentic Collection’ (serial number 00018353592) and notes a specific provenance for the bat fragment: a game played on May 27, 1984. The card's design includes the iconic 'Baseball Heroes' logo at the bottom. The condition of the encapsulated card appears excellent with sharp corners and vibrant colors, though the clear protective case shows some light surface scuffing typical of handling. The craftsmanship represents the early 90s high-end hobby market, combining vintage-style photography with modern memorabilia embedding techniques.
