1932 San Francisco PCL Baseball

[tlwise12]

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 San Francisco ball. 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



Players supposedly present on the ball are:

Henry "Prince" Oana
Julie Wera
Mike Hunt
Bill Henderson
Jimmy Zinn
Jim Keesey
Lee Stine

A complete roster for that year can be seen here

Thanks for any help. Feel free to email me at tlwise12@aol.com

Travis: I can't speak to authenticity, game use etc. Sigs are really faint and won't help matters. Attached are a photo I bought from Robert Klevens with Oana's signature which I believe to be bona fide plus a jpeg I copied from an eBay sale which purported to be his autograph. I will make a semi-educated stab that the sig at top in your fourth photo is meant to be Oana's. Whether it is real or not is not for me to say.

FWIW, here's a (possible?) Oana signature on the reverse of a 1933
Portland Beavers PCL real photo postcard I posted a few years back..

Wera is on the sweet spot and Zinn is the top on the side panel. They look like TTMs I picked up in the 1970s.

^^^^ those three Oana sigs ALL look different.

The Oana photo was taken and signed during the 1928 Aratani Team tour of Japan and was part of the Sotheby's Fujita Collection.

Just an observation, more than anything else .

These are REALLY light and it may be tough to convince someone they are what they are but these are all there...
