Michael Jackson Signed Baseball – COA JSA

Michael Jackson was a globally popular musician who was recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by the Guinness Book of World Records. His contributions to music, dance, and fashion — along with a much-publicized and at times controversial personal life — made him a key figure in popular culture for more than four decades. “The King of Pop” introduced himself to the world as the youngest member of the Jackson 5 in 1964, and made one of his first televised appearances with the band on American Bandstand in 1970.

Many fans would camp out for days outside his residences – including his famous Neverland Ranch – for a glimpse. Though he was known to always sign autographs when asked, so much of Jackson’s time was spent in isolation and out of the public eye when not entertaining that his autographs are actually very rare.

Michael Jackson signed a beautiful full name signature across a side panel of this ONL (Coleman) baseball in black felt tip (“8”) with the inscription, “Love”. The baseball itself shows mild toning throughout. Only a true fan could get Jackson to sign something out of the ordinary, a baseball. Indeed, Michael Jackson autographed baseballs are extremely rare and you would be hard pressed to find another one.

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.
