Among the most complete players in the history of the game, Roberto Clemente was perhaps as elaborate in his penmanship as he was in action on the diamond. This autographed baseball is a fine example! The creamy ONL Giles sphere has trademark stampings that date to 1958-1962. On the sweet spot, Clemente has inscribed “To my friend Nick – Best Wishes” and signed in blue ink. Executed with varying pen pressures, the scripting still maintains (“6”) potency and is a seldom seen variation from Clemente’s customary “two-tier” signature style. Full photo LOA from JSA.
