Christy Mathewson, Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson Single-Signed Baseballs Featured in Mile High Card Company June Auction

Castle Rock, CO –Mile High Card Company’s June auction will be offering some of the most spectacular single-signed baseballs seen in years, led by the finest known example of “The Christian Gentleman” Christy Mathewson. Other amazing baseballs highlighted in this event are among the very finest known examples of Ty Cobb (dated 1925), Walter Johnson, Tris Speaker and Connie Mack. The auction begins Monday, June 4th and concludes on Thursday, June 21st.

Signed in steel-tip fountain pen ink with a “yours truly” inscription on the side panel, the signature of Christy Mathewson is one of the boldest we’ve ever seen on any surface. The Official National League Spalding stamp is factory fresh and places the sphere somewhere in the 1915-1924 time range as identified by the markings; the twilight years of Mathewson’s storied career. The Cobb ball is equally as impressive, a wonderfully bold signature to the left of the OAL (Johnson) stamp and accompanied by the date June 24, 1925 while still playing for the Detroit Tigers. Similarly, the Walter Johnson ball is also one of the sharpest in existence with markings of the Reach stamp that set its origins between 1918 and 1924, the latter being when Johnson won his third and final pitcher's Triple Crown. All three items, along with the Speaker and Mack signed balls, are double authenticated.
