Default Fs- interesting stan musial signed game used ball

Fs -Stan Musial signed ball attributed to 1956 opening day (also frank robinson's mlb debut)

So this ball came out of an Ohio estate, got it on ebay right around 2016. Not sure if the date was penned in musials hand but the depth of color is identical to the other signatures. As for the other sigs: no major leaguers... there is a person (bill wilson) how Signed twice... there was a big leaguer names bill wilson in the majors during that time but he definitely wasnt on either team. Someone told me that it could be the historical figure and founder of A.A. Bill wilson... ran it by a local historian and he said its similar, but can’t validate it based on the medium it’s on... mentioned that bill had a bit of an ego and may not have liked his first attempt so he tried again... he did spend quite a bit of time in and around Akron so it may have been he and a bunch of friends at the game...

And who knows? It may have been musials homer ball?

Very interesting piece none the less

$135pp ff shipped and insured
