Holiday Auction Closing December 3
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/4/2016
26 signatures of the 1948 Brooklyn Dodgers are on this Official National League Ford C. Frick baseball. This ball displays toning but the signatures, all in black ink, display nicely. The signatures on the sweet spot include Hank Behrman, Clyde Sukeforth and Pee Wee Reese (clubhouse). The panel with the Spalding stamp has the signatures of Gene Hermanski, Billy Cox, Preacher Roe (clubhouse) and Rex Barney. The panel to the right of the sweet spot signatures includes Gil Hodges (clubhouse), Eddie Miksis (clubhouse), Tommy Brown, Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson, Joe Hatten, Ralph Branca and Carl Furillo. The panel directly below the sweet spot signatures includes Pete Reiser, Carl Erskine, Bruce Edwards, Erv Palica, Jake Pitler and George Shuba. The final panel has the signatures of Arky Vaughan, Hall of Famer Duke Snider, Hall of Famer Roy Campanella, Hugh Casey, Paul Minner and what we believe is Willie Ramsdell. Please note that PSA/DNA has determined the signatures of Pee Wee Reese, Marvin Rackley, Preacher Roe, Eddie Miksis and Gil Hodges have been deemed clubhouse versions, a common practice during that era.
