I recently bought two baseballs. One was described as a 1932 San Francisco team signed (and possibly game used) and the other was a 1932 Los Angeles Angles team signed baseball (and possibly game used).


This post is for the 1932 LA Angels baseball. Images are below.


I'm hoping for help with the following:

1. Identifying player signatures (along with any info on these signatures, including rarity factors)
2. Identifying type of baseballs (along with era)
3. Possibility of game use

Autographs on this ball are supposed to include:

George Caster
Paul "Bob" Fitzke
Mike Kreevich
Hal Stitzel
Les Sweetland
Jigger Statz
Charley Moncrief
Earl Sheely
Jack Lelivelt

A complete roster can be seen here

. . . but primarily for one of the "signatures" you did not name.
Printed is the name Bill Lelivelt, who was Jack's brother, and a
member of the 1909-1910 Detroit Tigers. I chose not to follow
through on my bidding because I have no exemplars available
to determined if the printed name may have been in Bill's hand.
I also know that he had pretty decent handwriting during his
playing days, so the printed nature made me suspicious. But it
was an pleasant surprise to see the printed name on this ball.
