Ty Cobb and George Sisler are HOFers and two of the most phenomenal hitters in baseball history. This King of the Diamond ball shows signs of its age. The ball surface in general is a medium cream color but there are areas of dark discoloration and toning. The stampings have also faded slightly. The side panel bears the signature of Ty Cobb. The signature has been done in black fountain pen and has the familiar underlined continuation of the last "B" in Cobb. The signature rates an 8 due to some fading and areas where the ink never penetrated the ball's surface. On the other panel is the signature of George Sisler. Sisler has signed the ball in blue fountain pen rating a 7 due to similar fading. There is a third autograph and inscription on the ball. However it cannot be made out due to severe fading. The signatures come with a letter from PSA/DNA.
