    Description

    1951 Washington Senators Team-signed baseball, with 22 signatures,  including manager Bucky Harris (HOF) and fan favorites such as Mickey Vernon, Ed Yost and Pete Runnels (his rookie year). Penned on OAL Harridge baseball in blue ink. The baseball itself is in nice condition and the signatures present very well. The baseball comes with the ball cube that I originally got with it.
    The shipping charge includes insurance. If the purchaser wishes to save the shipping charge, I will be glad to deliver the baseball to you in person (no shipping charge) at the upcoming National Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago at the end of July. I am also listing a few other Senators Team-signed baseballs, and I'll gladly combine shipments.
    I got this signed baseball in the Huggins & Scott Auction that ended April 2, 2008. It was part of Auction Lot #315. I took the photos in this eBay listing. I encourage you to go to the Huggins & Scott website and see this lot with their photos in their auction history. I am also listing the 1952 and the 1955 Washington Senators Team-signed baseballs from this same auction lot in separate eBay listings. The auction listing states that this baseball "comes with a COA from James Spence Authentications." Unfortunately, I don't have this COA - either I have lost it (I don't think so), or I never received it (most likely - probably because I was to pick up this lot at the Chantilly Show to save the shipping cost). Nevertheless, I guarantee the signatures on this baseball to be authentic. Below is the listing of the signatures on the baseball that I have copied and pasted from the Huggins & Scott auction listing:
