1947 Brooklyn Dodgers autographed ball

[kengoldin]

I am sorry to give you my opinion that it has clubhouse sigs, would prefer to see in person to fully evaluate, i hate looking at vintage items not in person to evaluate

From what I recall being told, my great grandfather was some company executive and met the Dodgers in person. The ball and a pen was passed around to the players for him.

Of course I have no way to verify that.

Look at the 2 robinsons, sorry not adept at posting images to forums yet
you have an earlier sig of robinson, and a slightly later one.

I must need new contact lenses - oh wait... They look pretty similar to me. I'm going to have an expert look at the ball. If the autos are real, great. If not, oh well, it will be a nice keepsake of my great grandfather.

Thanks for your help!!

The Robinson looks good to me.

You might have some clubhouse on there, but you definitely have some good ones from what I can tell. Brooklyn balls are notorious for having at least some clubhouse sigs so don't think it's a bad ball just because their might be a few.

What do you think of the Gil Hodges?

I wouldn't trade 2-3 grand for a keepsake from my great grandfather.

When I was 16, I sold one of my 59 Clementes that my dad gave me. I regret it all the time.

I totally respect that but money is a little too tight to mention these days. I don't want to sell it if I can avoid it.
