Offered is a 1955 New York Yankees American League Champions team-signed baseball with bold, blue ink signatures.
This off-white OAL (Harridge) Reach ball, with very bold stampings, has been signed very boldly in blue ink by 29 members of the team, with SIX Hall of Famers, including a stellar vintage Mickey Mantle plus manager Casey Stengel and coach Bill Dickey. It remains very tough to find a Yankees team-signed ball from this era without a clubhouse Stengel and even Dickey.
SWEET SPOT - Yogi Berra.
EAST PANEL - Carroll, McDougald, Kucks, Collins and Byrne.
WEST PANEL - Konstanty, Morgan, Sturdivant, Bauer, Turner, Noren, Carey and Ed Ford.
NORTH PANEL - Turley, Robinson, Bill Dickey, Silvera, Phil Rizzuto, Mickey Mantle, Skowron and Casey Stengel.

Signatures range in grade from ("8-10", a couple lesser). All of the official ball stampings are dark and well stamped, and while the ball is very nice overall, there are a few areas of toning. This is a high grade team-signed baseball from the magnificent 1955 New York Yankees American League Championship team, just a Sandy Amoros catch away from another World Series title. Accompanied by full letters of authenticity from James Spence Authentication (JSA), and Beckett Authentication Services (BAS). Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
