This autographed cachet envelope has been personally hand-signed by Willie McCovey of the San Francisco Giants. This autograph is certified by PSA (Professional Sports Authenticators). It comes encapsulated and authenticated by PSA in the plastic case. PSA has graded the autograph as Gem Mint 10!

Willie was a fearsome left-handed power hitter, at the time of his retirement in 1980, McCovey ranked second only to Babe Ruth in career home runs among left-handed batters, and seventh overall. As of 2022, he ranks 20th overall on baseball's all-time home run list, tied with Ted Williams and Frank Thoams. He was a six-time All Star, three-time Home Run Champion, and National League MVP in 1969 and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1986 in his first year of eligibility, only the 16th man so honored, at the time.

McCovey died at the age of 80 on October 31, 2018, after battling "ongoing health issues". He had been hospitalized for an infection late the previous week. His longtime friend and fellow Hall of Famer Joe Morgan was at his bedside.  A public memorial service for McCovey was held at AT&T Park on November 8, 2018.
