Albert Belle AUTOGRAPHED 1997 Collectors Choice Teams # CW7 Baseball Trading Card

Albert Belle
AUTOGRAPHED
1997 Collectors Choice Teams # CW7

 This Albert Belle trading card is autographed!

It is a 1997 Collectors Choice Teams trading card,
#CW7, from the Chicago White Sox.

They're "my" team... and I collected a lot of
Albert Belle memorabilia while he was with
our club in 1997 and 1998.
Much of the memorabilia was obtained
at Comiskey Park, (now US Cellular Field.)

This card was autographed
during a "meet and greet"
which the White Sox offered on
one of their regularly scheduled "Kids' Days".
We stood in line for quite some time
to meet Albert and get his autograph!
So there is no COA - sorry!
The card was immediately put into a hard plastic sleeve,
and transferred to an album upon our return home that day.
It has remained in the album ever since.
Great condition!

Standing at 6'2 and weighing in at 225 lbs,
Albert was one of the leading sluggers of his time,
and in 1995 he became the first player to hit
50 doubles and 50 home runs in a single season.
I can't believe I am getting rid of my Albert Belle memorabilia!
Those of you who know me know how much time was spent collecting.

But it's time,
so head on over to OLA, look for Flea's Field,
and check out this Autographed Albert Belle card!
