Signature seekers mount your campaign to capture this incredible treasure. Offered is a 1947 Pittsburgh Pirates team-signed baseball. Blessed with (17) high caliber signatures from upper echelon stars and a strong supporting cast, this well-preserved, creamy white orb originates from what is perhaps baseball’s most pivotal season 1947, noted for the breaking of the color barrier. Rated with an overall grade of “8” by PSA/DNA, this fabulous ONL/Frick ball (“7”) with average (“8”) signatures is highlighted by an absolutely gorgeous Honus Wagner autograph, which displays as the boldest example present. Other key signers are HOFers Hank Greenberg, Billy Herman and Ralph Kiner, along with notables Jimmy Bloodworth, Ernie “Tiny” Bonham (d.1949), Billy Cox, Ken Gables (d.1960) and “Preacher” Roe. Rounding out the cast are Vic Barnhart, Ed Basinski, Frankie Gustine, Roy Jarvis, John McKee, Jim Russell, Wally Westlake and one unknown. Full photo LOA from PSA/DNA.
