Very nice Charles Fazzino hand-painted baseball signed by New
York Yankees Hall of Fame catcher Bill Dickey, whose autograph on the sweet
spot comes in 7/10 blue ballpoint surrounded by a black glittered cloud. The
left panel (left of sweet spot, that is) shows Dickey decked out in his catcher’s
gear with No. 8 and his 1954 Cooperstown induction each called out. The right
panel shows Old Yankee Stadium in its glory. The top panel has a 3-dimensional
Yankees logo at the foot of Yankee Stadium, “11x All-Star”, “14x World Series
Champ” (eight as player) and a picture of the New York skyline. The bottom
panel shows his pinstriped No. 8 surrounded by his career stats and the phrase “The
Man Nobody Knows” to capture the essence Dickey’s somewhat unappreciated
legacy. The famed 3-D pop artist has signed the opposite side of the ball
(where the brand label would be) in black pen. This special 1-of-1 piece of
baseball artwork comes in Mint, nearly pristine overall condition.
Full LOA from JSA. Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
