Awesome ball. Assuming all the provenance checks out you might be looking at $5000 or more but I'm just guessing here.

June 27th they played Phila A's. They weren't in Washington until June 29th

i did not say that my Dad was at "the" game the day the ball was signed, but my Grandfather swore Harry S Truman into office and the pic i have at home not here in the office is of my Dad, my Grandfather, Harry S and Clark Griffith himself...i will dig up the book of letters Harry wrote to Bess which mentions my Dad and Grandfather and Clark at a game and verify that date. This is the direct connection to Mrs. Clark Griffith

Tommy, if your grandfather was Chief Justice Vinson, then you have another huge element to the provenance, it might not add a whole lot of more value, but as in art, when you can prove an unbroken line of provenance which includes famous historical figures, that's what makes an item truly "special".

You've got a fantastic ball there and thanks for sharing it.

If you decide to put it on the market I would highly recommend Robert Edward Auctions. I'm not affiliated except as a customer.

$5,000? That's pretty pricey in my opinion
