A fantastic lineup of American League Hall of Famer and star autographs is had, with this c.1936-1938 period signed baseball. This Reach League Ball is decorated with (14) prestigious steel-tip fountain pen autographs in black ink, under a coating of shellac. Sporadic surface abrasions, and variable ink fading see these coveted autographs range ("4" to "6.5") in potency, with those of Lou Gehrig, Connie Mack, Hal Trosky, and Joe Cronin remaining the strongest. Along with these legends, this magnificent ball also hosts an early Joe DiMaggio example, and a fairly decent Jimmie Foxx signature. Full LOA from James Spence/JSA.



The complete list of signers is:



Sweet spot: Connie Mack (HOF), Hal Trosky;



North panel: "Lefty" Gomez (HOF), Mickey Cochrane (HOF), Tris Speaker (HOF), Joe DiMaggio (HOF);



South panel: Jimmie Foxx (HOF), Joe Cronin (HOF), "Bobo" Newsom;



East panel: Herb Pennock (HOF), Lou Gehrig (HOF);



West panel: "Goose" Goslin (HOF), "Lefty" Grove (HOF), Del Baker.
