The most celebrated team in baseball history is spotlighted with this 1927-1928 New York Yankees world champions team-signed baseball. A 1928 OAL/Barnard model, this ball would have significant worth were it not signed by anyone. The addition of (14) period-signed autographs from of this vaunted team, makes it a priceless treasure. (5) Hall of Famers are counted, including Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, and the rest of "Murderer's Row" is present and accounted for, with Earle Combs, Tony Lazzeri, Bob Meusel, and Mark Koenig. Coated with a thin layer of shellac, the ball shows (VG) quality, and the signatures average ("3" to "4") potency. Fortune has definitely smiled on this ancient orb, as the Babe Ruth autograph remains the most prominent of the bunch.
