LEFTY O`DOUL RARE SIGNED PSA/DNA VINTAGE BASEBALL AUTOGRAPH 1930's are worth more. I think your ball is 1950's.. I have looked at the signature very close, I think its real..But with that said.. you need to get a PSA/DNA test.. price for these can be over $1000.00..
NOTE" I do not claim to be an expert...Good Luck
Re: Lefty O'Doul and Team Baseball
Thanks Francis ! The Signature looks real but we will have it checked. My husband found two of those balls in the dumpster. The other ball has less signatures and are more faded, but definitely has Lefty's signature as well. Amazing what people throw away.
