old signed Ball pics 1933 Philadelphia, 1948 St. Louis, Babe Ruth
Here are pics of the balls I had earlier discussed. We have narrowed 2 of the balls down to specific teams on the basis of player signatures. Ball 1 is the 1933 Philadelphia Athletics with signatures Connie Mack, Bob Johnson, Bobby Coombs, Max Bishop, Eddie Cihocki, Rube Walberg, Pinky Higgins, and Lefty Grove.
Ball 2 is the 1948 St. Louis Cardinals which is severely crazed. Identafiable signiatures are Del Rice, Ted Wilkins, Max Lanier, Bill Baker, Johnny Bucha
Ball 3 is Babe Ruth probably from 1933 as the 1933 Ball and this one are quite similar in construction.
All balls are in rough condition, as evidenced by the pictures. The 1948 ball appears to have been covered with some kind of lacquer type preservative...so some of the names are not legible.
Let me know your thoughts and approx. values, if known. Also would like suggestions where to send them for authentication. Know of JSA.
Thanks,
Kmac
