NOTE: This is one of 60+ autographed baseballs and dozens of other items that are all ending on Wednesday, December 16th, at approximate 2-minute intervals. All of these baseballs are from the 65+ year collection of a longtime Chicago Cubs fan Harry Strong. He got his collection signed at Wrigley Field, Spring Training, at card shows, and purchases at card stores and online. This is auction #4 of five similar-sized auctions from the same collection.
Signatures on this baseball incl...ude: Gene Michael (manager), Thad Bosley, Bob Dernier, Terry Francona, Gary Matthews, Jerry Mumphrey, Leon Durham, Ron Cey, Jody Davis, Steve Trout, Lee Smith (HOF), Scott Sanderson, Jamie Moyer, Ed Lynch, Ray Fontenot, Dennis Eckersley (HOF), and two I could not identify.
IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTE!: I do combine shipping, HOWEVER you must wait to pay until you have received a combined invoice. If, for example, you win four baseballs and make four separate payments, you will receive four separate packages. I send out all invoices after the last baseball auction has ended. If, however, you know you're done bidding at any point in the auction, you can send me an email requesting a combined invoice and I'll send it to you early. There will be no combined shipping after the fact if you've already paid in multiple payments.
Abbreviations that may or may not be used in this listing: OAL: Official American League Baseball; OML: Official Major League Baseball; ONL: Official National League Baseball; MiLB: Minor League Baseball; ORL: Official Rawlings League Baseball; OL: Official League Baseball; HOF: Hall of Fame; W.S.: World Series; ASG: All-Star Game; COA: Certificate of Authenticity or Guarantee; w/: With; G/U: Game or Practice Used; LE: Limited Edition.
You will get the exact autographed baseball pictured. I have provided high resolution photos of all six panels of the ball, so you can decide the grade/condition for yourself. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
COA info: If a baseball has been certified by any of the following companies, then their certification (COA) is what comes with the ball: JSA, PSA/DNA, MLB Authentic, Steiner, Online Authentics, or Tri-Star. That certification may include one or more of any of the following used by those companies: holographic numbered sticker on the ball; autograph show ticket; authentication card/letter/receipt that coincides with the certification number on the ball; photo ID of player signing the ball; or any other format used by these six companies. Any ball that wasn't certified by one of these six companies will include a COA from Stuff of History with our guarantee that the ball will pass the authentication processes used by either JSA or PSA/DNA. If it doesn't, you have 90 days from date of purchase to return it for a full refund. Team-signed balls do NOT come with my COA due to the possibility of secretarial or clubhouse signatures and because players' signatures often times appear a little different because they're signing much smaller than normal to allow everyone else on the team to get their name on the ball as well.
