Satchel Paige Signed Baseball w/ Other – COA JSA

Satchel Paige was the first player who had played in the Negro leagues to pitch in the World Series in 1948, and was the first player from the Negro leagues to be inducted in the National Baseball Hall of Fame, in 1971.

It was Satchel Paige who once uttered the famous words, “Don’t look back; something might be gaining on you”, and true to form, the ol’ righthander signed Satchel Paige on a baseball.

Presented is an ONL (Feeney) baseball autographed by Satchel Paige. He signed it on a side panel in black ballpoint pen (“8”). This ball can be displayed as a single sign. Another signer is Terry Moore. The ball itself shows 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.
