Seldom will you find an autographed baseball in the auction world from the likes of the "Brown Bomber." Joe Louis is still boxing's longest reigning World Heavyweight Champion (1937-49), defending his title an unprecedented 25 straight times and holdijng the belt for 140 months in a row. Ring Magazine ranked Louis #1 on their elite list of the 100 top punchers of all time. His strong blue ballpoint signature on the sweet spot rates 8-9/10 in our book, while the Official National League (Giles) ball is fairly soiled throughout. Super tough to find any Joe Louis single these days, let alone with such a bold signature. This rare specimen came to us from the collection of the son of former big leaguer and Dodgers staffer, George Vico. Includes full LOA from Beckett (A25821).
