Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays and Duke Snider Autographed Baseball | Hall of Fame Outfield Signed Ball
Fantastic group of signatures are found on this Official 1983 World Series baseball. Four Hall of Famer members have penned their name which include Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays and Duke Snider. Let us know underestimate how this ball came about. It is well known that DiMaggio was not always pleased to sign a ball that also included Mantle, thus the reason why you see so few in the marketplace compared to so many other Mantle pairings. This ball has that great distinction, in addition to the likes of both Willie Mays and Duke Snider. As a collector who may have a vast array of autographed balls at their disposal, chances are slim that one like this is included.
Over the many years of collecting and offering such special pieces for public sale, we've never seen another signed ball with these same four players on it. The ball has some scattered toning and shows some display use, while the signatures are strong.
Accompanied by a Full Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from James Spence Authentication (JSA).
