This Wilson A1030 Official League baseball bears 13 beautiful, bold Hall of Fame signatures from baseball's golden age. Highlighted by Ty Cobb on the sweet spot, vintage signatures include George Sisler, Pie Traynor, Warren Spahn, Dizzy Dean, Joe Cronin, Rogers Hornsby, Stan Musial, Bob Feller, Willie Mays (early), Paul Waner, Ted Williams, and Gabby Hartnett. Ball is cream colored with even overall toning and minor spotting. The Cobb signature shows light rubbing and grades an 8. The Sisler, Traynor, Spahn, Dean, Cronin, Feller, Waner, and Mays signatures average an 8 or better. The Williams, Hartnett, and Musial signatures grade a strong 9, with the Hornsby showing minor discoloration and grading an 8. Rare to find this grouping on the same baseball, only three of the players are still alive (Musial, Feller, Mays) with Cobb and Hornsby having passed away in 1961 and 1963, respectively. Accompanied by a LOA from James Spence Authentication.
