Don Larsen, Vida Blue & Bill Singer Single-Signed & Inscribed Baseballs

Iconic Baseball Memorabilia: A Tribute to Legends

Introduction to the Collection

In the realm of baseball memorabilia auctions, few items capture the essence of the sport’s rich history like single-signed baseballs. These artifacts, graced by the hands of legendary players, offer a tangible connection to the moments that defined their careers. Among the treasures in our latest auction are three remarkable baseballs, each bearing the signature of a baseball icon: Vida Blue, Bill Singer, and Don Larsen.

Vida Blue: A Signature of Excellence

The first gem in this collection is a Rawlings OAL baseball, single-signed by the illustrious Vida Blue. Known for his powerful pitching and charismatic presence on the mound, Blue’s career was marked by numerous accolades, including the prestigious MVP award in 1971. The ball is inscribed with “71 MVP,” a testament to his remarkable season that year. This piece is a must-have for any serious collector of MLB memorabilia.

Bill Singer: A Milestone in Baseball History

Next, we present a Rawlings ONL baseball, single-signed by Bill Singer. This baseball is inscribed with “ML 1st Save 4/7/69 L.A. Dodgers,” commemorating Singer’s historic achievement as the first official save in Major League Baseball history. Singer’s contribution to the game is immortalized in this unique piece, making it a valuable addition to any baseball collection consignment.

Don Larsen: The Perfect Game

Completing this trio is a Rawlings manufactured OAL baseball, single-signed by Don Larsen. Larsen’s legacy is forever etched in baseball lore for his perfect game in the 1956 World Series, a feat inscribed on this ball as “Perfect Game 10-8-56.” Additionally, the inscription “no hit loser 9-20-58” highlights another significant moment in his career when the Dodgers fell to the Orioles behind Hoyt Wilhelm’s no-hitter. This baseball is a testament to Larsen’s enduring impact on the sport.

Condition and Authenticity

All signatures are rendered in blue ink and, in our opinion, rate between 8-9 in quality. While mild to moderate toning is present on the Larsen and Singer balls, these characteristics only add to their vintage charm. Each baseball is accompanied by an ALOA from JSA, ensuring their authenticity and enhancing their value as sellable sports memorabilia.
