Nicknamed "Mr. Pocket Billiards," Willie Mosconi is a legend and a trailblazer in the sport of pool. Mosconi won the World Straight Pool Championship an astounding 19 times between 1941 and 1957 and was among the first Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame Inductees. This complete set of pool balls with 4 additional balls including 2 cue balls are each signed by Mosconi in either black or silver marker and in our opinion rate a combined 9. Mosconi added the inscription "Fats Can't Shine My Shoes" on all but one ball which alludes to Mosconi's rivalry with Minnesota Fats, his arch-foe for most of his illustrious career.The balls appear to be NM overall and are accompanied by an ALOA from JSA.
