Description
Jean Buckley was a center fielder who played from 1950 through 1952 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Buckley was a solid outfielder and clutch hitter during her three years in the league, turning into a feared batter in two post seasons, although her teams failed to win the title in any of them.
Presented is an unofficial baseball autographed by Jean Buckley. She signed it on a side panel in blue ink (“7”) with a nickname inscription, “Buckets 1950-53”. Also included is a baseball card of her autographed in red felt tip (“8-9”) with her nickname inscription.

This ball is from one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of autographed baseballs in the world. Altogether they were easily displayable in custom shelf form and alphabetically displayed nonetheless. The choice of medium was visually easy for the encyclopedic collector who put these together. It took several decades to amass these rare autographs of the most prominent entertainers, historical figures, and sports players. It proved quite difficult to acquire autographs of non-ballplayers on such an odd object (a baseball) but diligence proved otherwise and that it’s possible. So, now with the collection complete and his shelves empty there’s only one thing left to do….bid on this item and start the challenge to see how far you can take it.
