Rare Tris Speaker single signed baseball

Lightly toned Harridge AL baseball signed by "The Gray Eagle" who patrolled the outfields of Boston and Cleveland earning him a selection as one of the inductees at the 1939 inaugural event at the Hall of Fame. Fountain pen signature across the sweet spot remains even in display and rates 6/7 out of 10. The ball is unused with some minor surface and handling wear.

Speaker passed away in 1958 and is one of the more elusive single signature baseballs from the 1939 inductee class. Includes full LOAs from JSA and PSA/DNA with additional Global sticker affixed: Ball: EX-EX/MT, Signature: EX-MT
