Phil Niekro & Joe Niekro Dual Signed Autographed Baseball with Victory Totals

[vargha]

Really cool dual signed baseball of Hall of Famer Phil Niekro and his brother Joe Niekro. It was part of a garage full of sports stuff I bought over 20 years ago when I lived in southern California. They placed their win totals next to their signatures. Phil retired in 1987 and Joe in 1988. Their win total of 539 victories (318 by Phil and 221 by Joe) is the most in Major league history, and will likely never be approached again. Joe passed away in 2006, and Phil last December.

The ball is a Southern League (Jimmy Bragan) ball. Bragan was president from 1981-94. This ball was likely signed between 1989-94 after Phil retired. Phil assisted with the Braves' Southern League Greenville, SC affiliate, not too far from where he retired in Georgia. My guess is that this was signed at one of their games. The ink is different on the signatures, and Phil's signature is the same color as the two win totals. So, it looks like Phil added those. There is no COA with this as I never submitted it. But it is 100% GUARANTEED to pass Beckett, JSA or PSA/DNA inspection or your money will be FULLY REFUNDED. (Don't worry, it will easily pass if you choose to submit it.)
