Lot 361: Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio Signed Baseball

ITEM DESCRIPTION

 
Reserve: $750.00
Winning Bid: $1,306.44
Price Realized: $1,561.20
Auction Date:12/15/2006 9:00 PM EST

This rare, red and blue stitched Reach Official American League (Ban Johnson) baseball has been signed in fountain pen on the sweet spot by the one and only Babe Ruth, also in black ballpoint by fellow Yankees and HOFers Mickey Mantle ("Best Wishes") on the side panel and Joe DiMaggio on the bottom panel. We have been told that there was a Billy Martin signature removed from the ball, but we cannot find it. Ball shows very light toning and is unimaginably white for its age. The Ruth signature is faded and grades a 2, the Mantle grades an 8 and the DiMaggio a 7.5.
