Dennis Biddle Signed Baseball Chicago American Giants – COA JSA

Presented is an unofficial Rawlings baseball autographed by Dennis “Bose” Biddle.  He signed it on the sweet spot in a black pen (“9”).

Dennis Biddle is most known for making his debut in 1953 as the Giants’ pitcher when he was only 17 years old and was the youngest player ever to play in a Negro baseball league game.
Biddle injured his ankle the next year; this ultimately ended his playing career.

This ball is from one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of autographed baseballs in the world. Altogether they were easily displayable in custom shelf form and alphabetically displayed, nonetheless. The choice of medium was visually easy for the encyclopedic collector who put these together. It took several decades to amass these rare autographs of the most prominent entertainers, historical figures, and sports players.  It proved quite difficult to acquire autographs of non-ballplayers on such an odd object (a baseball), but diligence proved otherwise and that it’s possible. So, now with the collection complete and his shelves empty there’s only one thing left to do…. bid on this item and start the challenge to see how far you can take it.
