1929 Paul Waner & Lloyd Waner Signed NL Baseball Great Inscription! JSA COA

A touch of candid humor and classic period-signed origination mark this near-antique baseball as a must for advanced collectors. (5) Pittsburgh Pirates players that were teammates for the 1928-1931 seasons have signed this 1928-1933 Spalding No.1 model Official National League JohnHeydler ball. Quite significant in its own right, this scarce sphere gets a major bump from the autographs of HOF brothersPaul (d.1965) and Lloyd (d.1982) Waner, who patrolled the Pirates outfield from 1926-1940 and 1927-1941 respectively.

Separating this ball from typical examples is the amusing inscriptionthat accompanies Paul Waners stylish signature, which reads in full as Yes- Paul Waner your honor my a _ _? on the balls north panel. Nearly as distinct asthe elder Waner siblings autograph, Lloyd Waners signature sits alone on the east panel, next to the Spalding logo. Also present are the signatures of 1925-1931 Pirate infielder George Grantham (d.1954) signed prominently across the west panel and sweet spot as “Geo. “Boots” Grantham” and 1928-1932 Pirate pitcher Erv Brame (d.1949) on the west panel.

The ball is dated to the 1928-1933 period of issueby the factory stamp characteristics, which are: NL President John Heydlers facsimile signature on the panel to the right of the Official National League stamp on the reverse sweet spot; the patent date being located on the panel above the RSS; and the larger stitching type on the Spalding logo below the RSS.

Comes with full letter COA from James Spence JSA.
