NOTE: Musial was a prolific signer, especially in his old age. Unfortunately, many of the autographs he signed later in life are barely legible and bear little resemblance to autographs he signed as a younger man. This is not to question the authenticity of the autographed stickers used in this set; however, collectors should be advised and take this information into account if considering purchasing one of these autographs.
