Frank Sinatra Signed Baseball – COA JSA

Frank Sinatra became what modern stars aspire to be in the form of a quadruple threat (singer, actor, producer, and director). From a young age and throughout his career, he was also an equal rights advocate and supported political campaigns. Regardless of who wins the Presidency, his tunes will always be welcome in the White House. In all, Sinatra appeared in twenty-three movies, many of them with other members of “The Rat Pack,” and recorded fifty-nine studio albums.

The king of crooners, “Ol’ Blue Eyes” signed this OAL (McPhail R-OA) baseball on a side panel in black felt tip with the inscription and date, “Dear Ray, thank you for all the nice things – 78”. The ball displays even toning throughout.  Only a true fan could get Sinatra to sign something out of the ordinary, a baseball. Indeed, Sinatra autographed baseballs are extremely rare and you have to take advantage of this opportunity.

This ball is from one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of autographed baseballs in the world. All together 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.
