That is awesome, I would love to hear the story of how the great grandfather got this.

[w7imel]

Is that a good "holy"? his great grandfather passed it down and down in a box and only until recently has it been displayed in a UV protect cube. How rare is this ball?

Not 100 percent sure. We live in indiana and chicago borders us. He mentioned it was his favorite player and may have met him. I will ask him tommorow when I see him if he has more details.

I'll second that wow and raise you a GEEZ LUISE!

He said it was his grandfathers ball and he was a farmer as well as brown and they farmed in same part of the state. He remembered his dad having the ball boxed up as a kid. Ball was tucked away in attic after his dad died and his step mom was about to throw it away! That would have sucked.

One sold in Heritage Auction's 2010 Signature Auction for $65,725

Am I the only one who doesn't like this ball even one little bit? (Especially after seeing the Heritage ball.)

Dave, from what I have seen all his autos look slow and shakey...There only a few balls out there with his auto so I dont think it was a common signed item at the time and dude only had 3 fingers....haha that couldnt have helped. Is around same timeframe as joe jackson and look at his writing. safe to say back then they didnt get as many balls handed to them to sign as these modern atheletes...Try autographing a ball sometime and it really does feel wierd. Again just some thoughts on the ball

My friend is taking the ball to the Chicago autograph convention this weekend and having psa/dna look at it. I will keep you posted as to how it goes.

A good Holy, like this may be the finest example known.
