    Very nice! Is there a way to know when the ball was actually signed? If it was actually signed in the 1950’s it is in incredible shape!

    I don't think a ball signed an hour ago could look that nice. Unbelievable!

  • Thank you all! It's not a reunion ball. It was signed back in 1952 and put into storage. If you could smell the ball, it smells like it was in an attic for 65 years. From an estate after the collector passed away. I have the JSA cert from 10/2023 as well. It was obviously in a box, in the dark moth ball smelly attic. ha! Fusselman died in 1970, and really didnt sign much after he left baseball in 1954. Yes, this is a great timeless treasure! So glad I found it right next door to me with an old gent in MN. I live in ND. I sent it to PSA.

    Very nice item. When they grade it do they encase it or are your pics from pre-submission? Would think if they give it a grade they would need to make sure the Sandlot kids cant take it out to play with it, hit it over a wall and let a dog slobber on it and chew it up which would change the grade.

  • Those are PSA pics except the NL panel. PSA doesn't take pics on shag white carpet! haha. It arrives in ball cube, but not sealed with a sticker. So if one wants to, it can be used for batting practise!

    Did your neighbor have any other memorabilia?

  • Very nice, very high end, still in the sleeves 1952 Star Decal that I could not afford.

    Very nice. My grandfather worked in PR for the Cards late 40's/early 50's. This was his era! Sportsman Park.

    I've seen a lot of team signed balls and this one is stunning!

    BTW, for those who don't get into stats? The Cards are Number Two in World Series wins at 11 to the Yanks at 27.

    Great pickup buddy.

    Awesome ball! And yes... Les Fusselman is extremely tough! For his 1952 Topps high number for my Cardinals team set, I had to buy a JSA authenticated index card and I made a custom cut signature and attached it to a 1952 Topps card. Finding an "on card" signature will be next to impossible.
