 Bill McGowan   Single Signed   Baseball PSA/DNA
<B>1940's Bill McGowan "Single Signed" Baseball.</B></I> Those legions of collectors chasing Hall of Fame singles almost certainly find a hole in their collections where this umpire should reside. McGowan's posthumous induction almost four decades after his passing, and the very fact that he was an umpire rather than a player, are factors that have kept the supply of his autographs particularly low. And the few signed baseballs that do exist are typically those signed by entire umpiring staffs. We believe that this ball was once of that ilk, but chemical wizardry at the hands of "Signed Baseball Magic" has turned this ONL (Frick) ball from a multi-signed sphere into an apparent single. Only you will know the difference! Even better, McGowan's signature is a large and bold 8.5/10 in quality. Ask yourself--when was the last time you saw a genuine McGowan single? We can't think of one either... <I>LOA from PSA/DNA.</B></I> <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.5% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Galleries & Auctioneers, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
