Lot Essay

Draper & Maynard brand "Chaser" marked baseball has been signed "Lou Gehrig" across the sweetspot in fountain pen. The autograph is graded "5" by PSA. Ball is toned throughout with some areas of more pronounced discoloration and there is moderate surface wear. At least two panels show evidence of removals (either signatures or handwriting) with the upper surface scraped away. The ball offers a fine alternative for display to a far more costly pure single signed example with particular note to the rare and ideal sweetspot positioning (Gehrig most often signed the lower side panel). Includes full LOA from PSA/DNA: Sig. PSA 5, Ball GD
