Description

Stupendous cast of early ballplayers, with Ruth, Gehrig, Speaker, and more

Official Reach Ban Johnson American League baseball signed in ink on the sweet spot by Babe Ruth, and on the side panels by legends including Lou Gehrig, Tris Speaker, Eddie Collins, George Sisler, Connie Mack, Heinie Manush, Bob Meusel, and a few indecipherable. Overall toning and moderate scattered surface loss and scuffs to leather (primarily affecting Sisler’s signature, with a few marks to Ruth’s), and most signatures a couple shades light but legible. Luckily, the key signatures—Ruth and Gehrig—have been spared from most damage and are easily readable. Baseballs with such an extraordinary assemblage of stars are highly sought after, especially on the gorgeous vintage red-and-blue stitched Ban Johnson type. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
