Description: Very fine Cy Young single signed baseball. Red and blue stitched Reach E.S. Barnard Official American League baseball has been signed across the entire sweetspot panel, "June 14th 1931 Compliments, Cy Young." Strikingly bold blue fountain pen signature rates 8 to 9 out of 10. Ball displays a light cream coloration with unusually bold League stampings. Young remains one of the most revered pitchers of All-Time and is a central figure within both baseballs history and the games place in American popular culture. It has been nearly (100) years since he threw his last pitch, yet he continues to hold numerous records including that of (511) wins; one of the very few across the entire spectrum of sports which will likely never be broken. We state with certainty that with regard to signature quality, display value, and overall condition this is the finest example extant. Consigned to this auction directly by the family of the original recipient. Includes full LOA from JSA and original box (PR-GD): Ball EX/MT, Sig. NMEstimated Price Range: ($15,000-$25,000)
