Official Spalding National League (Giles) baseball signed in blue ink on a side panel, “Best Wishes, Roy Campanella,” and “Billy Cox.” Moderate overall toning, scattered scuffs and dings, and a light coating of shellac over the signature area, otherwise fine condition. Both signatures remain mostly unaffected and quite strong, especially Campanella’s. Campanella and Cox played together for the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1948 to 1954, and Giles became president of the NL in 1951, dating this ball to the early 1950s. An excellent example of Campanella’s highly desirable pre-accident autograph. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
