Any hobbyist even slightly familiar with the availability of Pete Maravich signed items knows how difficult they are to acquire. This is a beautiful and rare Maravich autograph. This Spalding Official NBA basketball is signed by the five players inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame in 1987 and is highlighted by a simply gorgeous Maravich signature. The five-time All-Star, who retired with a 24.2 scoring average signed the ball "Pistol Pete Maravich - John 3:3, 16" with the signature grading a near 10. Not to be overlooked are the other inductees on the ball, including Walt "Clyde" Frazier, Rick Barry, Robert Wanzer and Bob Houbregs, all of which rate a 9 or better. The ball is NM-MT and originally came from the Barry Biegelson collection. The autographs come with a letter from PSA/DNA.
