Pie Traynor Signed Baseball Pirates – COA BAS

From the Roaring Twenties through most of the Depression Era, the recognized master of the hot corner in the National League was Pie Traynor. His entire Hall of Fame career was plied in the City of Steel, and at some point shortly into his retirement, he penned his identity to this high-quality C.S.G. baseball. The medium is mildly toned, affording the relic a mellow aura, and the sweet spot fountain pen signature is a pure delight.

The quality of the autograph is about “8-9”. Further examination divulges that there is an inscription dating it to the signing, “June 12, 1966”. The ball, however, with its prominent Pie Traynor signature, well serves the requisite of an apparent single-signing placed by one of the premier superstars of baseball’s Golden 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.
