BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Two Signed National League Baseballs Including 1980 Ron Cey Game-Used with MEARS LOA and Lou Brock HOF 85 Inscribed
This lot features two autographed baseballs, including one documented game-used example. The first item is a 1980 game-used Rawlings Official National League baseball signed by Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Ron Cey. The ball bears the printed signature of League President Charles S. Feeney and contains the markings CUSHIONED CORK CENTER and RO-N. Ron Cey has signed his name in blue ink on a side panel adjacent to the league stamping. This ball is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity from MEARS (Memorabilia Evaluation and Research Services) dated May 3, 2014, which identifies the ball as originating from a 1980 matchup between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Pittsburgh Pirates at Three Rivers Stadium. The second item is a Rawlings Official National League baseball signed by St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame outfielder Lou Brock. The signature is located on the sweet spot in blue ink and includes the personalized inscription To Bo Best Wish Lou Brock HOF 85, referencing his 1985 induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Diameter: 3 inches each.
Condition report:
The Ron Cey game-used baseball shows visible overall toning and multiple scuff marks and surface abrasions consistent with game use. The Lou Brock signed ball presents with minor natural toning to the leather; the signature and inscription remain clear and legible.
