Basketball personalities Bobby Knight and Dick Vitale are both larger than life and have brought plenty of fan attention and media coverage to the world of mens college basketball. This lot includes a pair of autographed basketballs by both men who have personalized their respective spheres to Tony Gwynn who was himself a standout collegiate round-ball player for the San Diego State University Aztecs from 1978 to 81. The first basketball a white panel version is emblazoned in gold lettering on two panels with DICK VITALE P.T.P.er which stands for Vitales famous catch phrase Prime Time Player. He signed and inscribed the ball in black marker on two white panels: Tony: Congrats 3000! You are awesome baby! The second basketball an official Wilson NCAA Final Four version was signed by Knight in black marker who added the inscription: Tony I have utmost respect for you! Knights inscription appears to have bled into the basketball but remains legible.
Includes Letter of Authenticity from the Gwynn Family.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
