Description
This is an OFFICIAL AMERICAN LEAGUE (Budig) Baseball signed by 1935 World Series Champion and former Tigers, Red Sox and Browns pitcher ELDEN AUKER in blue pen. The signature rates a 9/10. The ball itself is lightly toned throughout. Please look at pictures for further detail. I am happy to send/post more pictures upon request, if needed. DID YOU KNOW? I n football, Auker starred at quarterback , was named second team All-American by Grantland Rice and was offered a $6,000 contract by the Chicago Bears . The Bears sent Bronko Nagurski to Manhattan to try to convince him to join the team. Auker turned down the Bears, however, to pitch for the Detroit Tigers. Auker died in 2006 at age 95. This ball was originally purchased through a reputable auction house and I will GUARANTEE THE AUTHENTICITY of the signature with a FULL money back promise if PSA or JSA happens to think otherwise. I have been collecting, buying and selling baseball autographs for close to 40 years and am considered an expert in the field. Take a look at the photos, consider my 100% POSITIVE feedback and BID WITH CONFIDENCE. Please also take a look at my other auctions for more great signed baseballs! I price ALL of my baseballs to SELL...usually lower priced than all other comparable balls on eBay at the time of listing (seriously...check it out!). I do list with a "Best Offer" option as again, I am here to SELL these balls, even though I feel my initial pricing is fair. If you have a reasonable amount in mind, please send an offer. Worst thing that could happen is for me to decline the offer. If I counter the offer, it means we're close...let's work together to make it happen. Thanks for looking! Brandon
