This is an OFFICIAL MAJOR LEAGUE (Selig) Baseball signed by Baseball Hall of Famer, 10x All Star, 5x World Series Champion, 1945 NL Stolen Base Leader, member of the Cardinals Hall of Fame, former Cardinals, Giants and Braves 2nd baseman and former Cardinals manager RED SCHOENDIENST in blue pen. He added the inscription "HOF 89" under his name. The signature rates a 9/10 due to a touch of ink transfer. The ball itself is ever so lightly toned with a few tiny darker spots on the sides. Please look at pictures for further detail. I am happy to send/post more pictures upon request, if needed.
DID YOU KNOW? At the time of his death, Schoendienst had worn a Major League uniform for 74 consecutive years as a player, coach, or manager, and had served 67 of his 76 years in baseball with the Cardinals.
Schoendienst died in 2018 at age 95.
This ball comes with a COPY
of the JSA Auction House LOA, UPON REQUEST ONLY!
This ball was originally purchased through a reputable auction house and I will GUARANTEE THE AUTHENTICITY of the signature with a FULL money back promise if PSA or JSA happens to think otherwise. I have been collecting, buying and selling baseball autographs for close to 40 years and am considered an expert in the field. Take a look at the photos, consider my 100% POSITIVE feedback and BID WITH CONFIDENCE. Please also take a look at my other auctions for more great signed baseballs!
I price ALL of my baseballs to SELL...usually lower priced than all other comparable balls on eBay at the time of listing (seriously...check it out!). I do list with a "Best Offer" option as again, I am here to SELL these balls, even though I feel my initial pricing is fair. If you have a reasonable amount in mind, please send an offer. Worst thing that could happen is for me to decline the offer. If I counter the offer, it means we're close...let's work together to make it happen. Thanks for looking! Brandon
