Sharing my 1946 game used bat Phil Cavarretta, 1955 1959 AL Ball Williams/Mantle NL Ball Hank/Mays,

Hello to all!!! Just wanted to share my latest pick ups to my personal collection!! Amazing finds!! I really like the game used bat!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Cavarretta , in case you don't much about Phil. Played 20 years with Cubs, 2 with Sox. Great Defense man, solid player. Played in the time of the legends of Ruth/Gehrig/Williams, and so on. 1946-48 game used with PSA/DNA letter! Great piece!! Rare and hard to find, plus Phil put his sig on it. The two baseballs just floor me. All those great sigs!! Williams/Mantle on same ball, with Kaline, Yogi, Whitey, Fox, amazing!!! Check out the 1959 NL ball! It was stored in the original Spalding bag that the ball was in when the original owner bought it, he got the auto's and put it back in the bag. Thus it is a very white baseball with strong sigs!! Wow! My pet is the 1959 Topps All Star Mantle PSA 9! Mixture of PSA 9/10 corners, edges, with white borders, PSA 9 center, surface. I prefer centered side to side 50/50, as you can see a bit off from top to bottom doesn't look as bad. Hope you enjoy seeing these!!

PS- I see more and more "proof" card Labels on Ebay. The label actually says "proof". I am going to ask PSA if they will consider crossing over the Bowman? I thought they didn't authenticate proofs? I know it wouldn't have a number grade, just authenticate only. Hopefully they will slab my Bowman Salesman panel.

Here is a photobucket link to see all sigs on both baseballs: (Donovan and Crandall are clubhouse)

    Great stuff. You hardly see game used bats from that far back anymore. Nice.

    The signed '59 ball is quite amazing. Nice!
  • Thank you again. I agree, bats like this are hard to find, very pleased with it. And yes, the 59 ball is amazing!

    Thanks!! I am really happy with this 9. Corners and centering are most important to me, and this is great on both. Corners are very high 9/10 mix.
