Reach "Official League" baseball signed by Hall of Fame first baseman Hank Greenberg, who has inscribed the ball "To Lois Reedy - with best regards - Hank Greenberg" on a side panel. Both the inscription and signature have been scripted in blue fountain pen. Hank Greenberg single-signed balls have always been very high on collectors' want lists. Today, the demand outweighs the supply by a considerable margin. The reason for that, in part, is because Greenberg passed away in 1986, before single-signed baseballs increased significantly in popularity and values began to skyrocket in response to collector demand. This example appears to date from the 1950s, making it scarce vintage example. The ball has both light toning and is in Excellent to Mint condition overall. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Opening Bid $200.
