Baseball signed by Gene Autry to Cowboy Dean Krakel

By mcever, 28 February, 2009
Description

I recieved this ball from a friend of mine who was storing some of Jack Krakel's (son of Dean Krakel) belongings when Jack decided to follow his Crow wife and two kids back to another state. After a year or so, Jack told my friend Marty he could have what he left behind. Marty had to move and I was helping him move when we came across this baseball. Being a big baseball fan and lover of memoribelia I ask for the ball instead of payment for helping him and he gladly gave me the ball.
Heres what it says on the ball...

To my friend Dean Krakel.
My best always..
Gene Autry
7-7-87

I can take some pictures if needed but just wanted a ballpark figure on what it might be worth.

you can contact me at my email or call 209-917-0420
