The Standards Signed Baseball Musicians – COA JSA

The Standard formed in Portland in 1999 out of members who had all previously played in Portland indie groups. The group signed with Touch and Go Records in 2002 for one release, and had two releases on Yep Roc in 2004–05. In 2008, they released their last album Swimmer on Partisan Records, a label co-founded by Tim Putnam.

Presented is an unofficial baseball autographed by (5) members of the band, The Standard. Each signed the orb in black felt tip (“8-9”).

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.
