Andy Porter Signed Baseball Baltimore Elite Giants – COA JSA

Description

Andy Porter was an American N. league baseball and Minor League Baseball pitcher. Listed at 6′ 4″ (1.95 m), 190 lbs (86 kg), Porter batted and threw right handed. He was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. Colloquially known as ‘Andy Pullman’, because he worked as hard as a Pullman porter, he was noted for his overpowering fastball and a hard-to-hit slider. Porter joined the N. Baseball leagues in 1932 and retired in 1954 after a 22 year career, playing for several teams all over the country and even outside its borders, in Canada, Cuba, Mexico and Venezuela.

Presented is an ONL (White) baseball autographed by Andy Porter. He signed it on the sweet spot in blue ballpoint (“8-9”). The baseball itself shows mild toning from age.

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.
