FS: Buck Leonard Hal of Fame Inscribed ball pre stroke JSA
|
This marks the first time I have ever seen any cursive writing in Leonard's hand other than his autograph, so I can't comment on if he wrote that part himself or not! Even before the stroke, he printed everything in block letters, and I mean everything. The autograph is obviously fine, and the inscription certainly appears to have been added at the same time with the same pen. Very interesting, to say the least. I appreciate seeing this.
His better half, Lugenia "Jean" Leonard, did write everything in cursive, however. I've even seen her write "Hall of Fame" when writing a letter for Buck after the stroke, and while there are some similarities here, there are more differences. Like I said, it's just very interesting from an authentication/study standpoint. It's pretty hard to be captivated by a Buck Leonard piece! |
That’s interesting. I’ve had another ball in cursive and an index card in the past.

There are tons of examples on PSA autograph facts site for him.

Oh jeez my bad. You’re talking about the hall of famer inscription! Psa dna does have other cursive writing by him too
Trying to post another picture but I keep getting an error (this site's platform is rough to use). you can see it on their site. |
Thanks Mark, I'll just take a look myself. It will be interesting to see more. Wondering how nothing else has ever crossed my path in all these years! Hilarious if so.

Yup, they had two examples of him employing cursive. I appreciate this information!
Actually, I have seen post-stroke cursive writing one time, but for some reason it isn't in my files and it slipped my mind. He made a valiant effort to inscribe "The Black Lou Gehrig" on the side panel of a ball. Sadly, a terrific struggle ensued. |
