A unique trio of inaugural class Hall of Famers makes this autographed sphere a singular rarity sure to garner the attention of the advanced autograph collector. While Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker appear on horsehide with some degree of regularity, the same cannot be said of 1963 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Jim Thorpe, whose brief Major League career was overshadowed by his dominance on the early gridiron. These three American sports icons appear in matching green ink on this unmarked baseball. Cobb and Thorpe rate about 7/10 while Speaker is about 6/10. In spite of the combined star power here, perhaps the ball’s primary appeal is the rare Thorpe signature isolated for lone display. Full LOA from PSA/DNA (AG01577).
