| Description: Scarce Chief Bender single signed baseball attributed to Game #3 of the 1911 World Series. Lightly toned B.Johnson AL baseball signed on a side panel in black fountain pen, "C.A. Bender 1911 World's Series With Giants 3-2". Signature and salutation rate 7/8 out of 10. The ball exhibits evident game use including some surface abrasions to the side panels. Based on the notation of a "3-2" score, the offered ball was likely used during Game #3 of the 1911 World Series in which the A's defeated the Giants, and their pitcher Christy Mathewson, behind Frank Baker's second home run of the World Series. Playing career Chief Bender single signed baseballs are virtually non-existent with note to the World Series game use attribution. Includes LOA from James Spence Authentication and letter of provenance from the family: Ball: VG-EX, Signature: EX/MT-NM |
| Estimated Price: ($7,500.00-$10,000.000 |
