Wilson "Official Pony League" ball signed in black fine-point marker across the sweet spot by Hall of Fame first baseman Hank Greenberg. Graded MINT 9 by PSA/DNA (autograph grade of "9" and ball grade of "9"). This is one of the finest Hank Greenberg single-signed balls we have ever seen, let alone handled, and easily the highest-graded example we have ever offered. Hank Greenberg single-signed ball have always been particularly scarce, with the demand far outweighing the supply by a considerable margin. In addition to being a favorite among collectors, Greenberg passed away in 1986, just before single-signed baseballs in general became universally recognized as the ideal and values began to skyrocket in response to collector demand. This is an extraordinary example and one that would appeal to even the most discriminating collector. Full LOA from PSA/DNA, Reserve $1,000. Estimate (open).
