Presented here are five signed balls from four Hall of Famers and the ultimate HOF hopeful (Pete) all neatly autographed and inscribed in a unique program called Statballs that enlisted legendary baseball figures to autograph limited editions of Official balls complete with often lengthy inscriptions detailing statistics and laurels from their careers. The balls from Ernie Banks and Pete Rose come with the original The Statball boxes with felt pouches with gold draw strings and embroidered Reggie Jackson 44 in the same fashion. Jackson originally launched the project back in 2001 and presumably was one of the first signers. Four of the five include the baseball card-like authentication card that is slabbed in plastic and lists details of the inscriptions and all five have the Statball hologram affixed below the Rawlings stamping; Banks is the only one not present. Three are signed on Official MLB Selig balls and Bench and Snider on Official National League Coleman balls. The Banks ball (620/1000) has 14 inscriptions; the Hall of Famers signature on the sweet spot has faded a bit as have a couple of the inscriptions but is still legible. There is a good deal of chipping of the black surface of Banks Statball box. The Rose ball (383/1000) in blue ballpoint is a blazer with 15 inscriptions and a typically strong and precise autograph on the sweet spot. The Rose box is largely as-issued and problem-free. The Kaline ball (317/1000) and indeed the Bench and Snider balls too - matches Petes for clarity precision and elegance with 13 inscriptions and a superb blue ballpoint signature on the sweet spot. Benchs edition No. is 155/1000 and Sniders is 162/1000. Both are blue ballpoint stunners problem-free and without issue. This is a great chance to get five important Hall of Famers (someday Petes moment will come) with a raft of inscriptions that would have required a lot of arm twisting and even more moolah to get done at a traditional signing. Also included in the lot are four letters and matching COAs from Statballs for Bench Kaline Rose and Snider.
Each ball comes with a ReggieJackson.com COA card with a hologram sticker denoting the number in the edition series.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
