1980's Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle & Roger Maris
<B>1980's Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle & Roger Maris Signed Baseball.</B></I> Numbers five, seven and nine will never ride upon Yankee pinstripes again in honor of these three iconic Bombers, who join forces here upon one of the only balls in existence to boast the trio's signatures. You'll certainly find none finer, as each signature is rendered in the boldest of black ink, literally unimprovable in its shade. DiMaggio claims the sweet spot of the OAL (MacPhail) orb, with Maris to the east, and Mantle below, adding "To Louis, Best Wishes" to his signature. A couple light fingerprints from handling the wet ink only add further appeal to this remarkable offering. Provenance is equally impressive, as the ball derives from the personal collection of Julie Isaacson, Maris' closest friend during the historic 1961 home run campaign, and a driving force behind Billy Crystal's biopic <I>61*.</B></I> See also Isaacson's presentational plaque from Maris within this auction. <I>LOA from PSA/DNA. LOA from James Spence Authentication.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Balls, Pucks, etc., Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
