PERFECTION LOT MLB Perfect Game Signed Baseball (6) Don Larsen, etc. – COA JSA

Description

Presented is an OML (Selig) baseball autographed by six members of the Perfect Game Club.  To achieve a perfect game, a team must not allow any opposing player to reach base by any means, including hits, walks, hit batsmen, uncaught third strikes, catcher’s or fielder’s interference, or fielding errors; in short, “27 up, 27 down” (for a nine-inning game). The feat has been achieved 23 times in MLB history.

All six of the signers in blue ballpoint (“9”) added their Perfect Game date on the baseball. Highlighting the sweet spot is the World Series Wonder, Don Larsen. Other signers include: Len Barker, Dennis Martinez, Jim Bunning, Mike Witt and Tom Browning.

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.
