    This item's owner is actively responding to offers, usually within 3 days. Most owners in this category are still actively buying, and therefore interested only in offers where they can net (after our 10% fee) an amount sufficiently above today's market value. Owners in this category seldom counter-offer, and will usually simply reject offers placed at current auction values or lower.

    Description

    Circa 1950 Charles "Chief" Bender Single Signed Baseball. A graduate of the same Carlisle Indian Industrial School which graduated Jim Thorpe, Bender became one of the top pitching stars of the Dead Ball Era, with Ty Cobb himself calling him "the most intelligent pitcher I've ever faced." Here we present a tremendously scarce example of his single, his black fountain pen signature applied to the side panel of an OAL (Harridge) sphere with 6/10 boldness. It's just the third Bender single we've had the privilege to offer, and certainly the finest of the trio. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication.
