Great Buy!!! I had my eyes on that one today... if you ever get the chance, pick up auker's book "From Sleeper Cars to Flannel uniforms"

An excellent read that will make you cherish that card all the more!

Best,

Beautiful ball, Richard! Are all the other panels as nice?

[RichardSimon]

The ball is in great condition. Some of the signatures are not as strong as the panel I showed but they are all very readable.
24 autographs including Thurman Munson. Signatures that are included on this ball are Thurman Munson, Joe Pepitone, Bobby Murcer, Fritz Peterson, Bill Robinson, Bob Cox, Gene Michael, Mike Kekich, Stan Bahnsen, Jake Gibbs,Mel Stottlemyre (clubhouse signature), Al Downing and 12 more. This is an unofficial Haiti baseball BUT it is Thurman Munson's first year with the Yankees and his signature is on this ball. He only played in 26 games in 1969. He played three games in August, 22 in Sept. and one in October. This is truly a rare signed ball as Munson certainly had little opportunity to sign Yankee team baseballs from 1969. The ball is very clean with strong signatures and Munson's signature is outstanding.
For those who are wondering, the clinching autograph on this ball is Bob Cox. Cox was a Yankee in 1968 and 1969. The only year he could be on a Yankee baseball with Thurman Munson is 1969.

Nicest Early Munson I've ever seen. Signed before he became the MEANEST catcher of all time.

Killer ball, Richard. I'm with Scott on a Koufax kick. This is one of my favorite cards ever, due to the amazing colors and great pose.

Just picked this one up. 1936 R313 National Chicle Honus Wagner. The signature is great on this one and I love the image. You can see the years and love for the game on Honus' face as he clutches his baseball.

He wasn't so mean that night Carlton Fisk kicked his butt.
