Though he was diagnosed with a deadly disease in 1983, Roger Maris was still satisfying autographs requests with grace and dignity. While he passed away two years later in 1985, Roger lives on in the collecting sphere as a greatly respected figure. Catch hold of a small part of his legacy with this single-signed 1983 Official World Series baseball. This was the final Fall Classic under the tenure of Bowie Kuhn, and a facsimile of the commissioner's signature is seen with the factory labeling stamps. This lightly toned ball presents (EX-MT) quality. Maris has signed on a side panel, and his blue fiber-tip marker signatures rates as a (“7.5”) application. Full LOA from James Spence/JSA. Opening Bid $500.
