Roy Campanella Signed Baseball Dodgers – COA JSA

Agile with the bat and the glove. The great Hall of Fame catcher Roy Campanella penned a perfect blue ball-point signature on this ONL “White” ball. After Roy’s accident following the 1957 season, it became very hard for the legendary Dodgers to sign baseballs. However, Roy still was able to accommodate this sphere with his endorsement. 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.
