Collection of 19 single-signed baseballs and one multi-signed baseball, each autographed by a former member of the World Champion 1961 Yankees.  Building a complete collection of single-signed baseballs from the 1961 Yankees is a challenging endeavor, with 36 different players having played at least one game with the club, and a primary coaching staff of six.  This collection will get the winning bidder nearly halfway there, leaving the more valuable Hall of Famers and some of the more challenging subjects, but also taking care of a good deal of the search.  The collection includes the following players, with notes on each:

Luis Arroyo: faded signature on OAL (Brown) baseball, Johnny Blanchard: Inscribed "1961-'62 World Champs" in black ink on MLB (Selig) ball, Clete Boyer: Inscribed "#6 on 1996 Official All-Star Game ball, Bob Cerv: Inscribed " 61 WSC" on MLB (Budig) ball, Tex Clevenger: Inscribed "61 World Champs" on MLB (Selig) ball, Jim Coates: Inscribed "1961 1962 WSC" on MLB (Selig) ball, Bud Daley: Inscribed "61-62 W.S. Champ" on official Gulf Coast League ball, Joe DeMaestri: OAL (Budig) baseball,  Art Ditmar: Faded signature on Official MLB (Selig) baseball, Al Downing: visible toning on ONL (Coleman) ball, Bill Graham: (inscribed "61 World Champs") on OAL (Budig) baseball, Bob Hale: Inscribed "61 WSC" on MLB (Selig) ball, Ralph Houk: (inscribed "1961-62 Yankee Mgr" on OAL (Brown) ball, Tony Kubek: OAL (Budig) ball, Hector Lopez: MLB (Budig) ball, Jack Reed: Inscribed "61 WSC" on MLB (Selig) ball, Bobby Richardson: signed on West panel of official Yankees 100th Anniversary baseball, Rollie Sheldon: Inscribed "1961 World Series Champs" on MLB (Selig) ball, significant staining on the ball, Moose Skowron: Signed on west panel of MLB (Selig) ball, hologram sticker underneath.  The multi-signed ball is an OAN (Budig) ball, signed by Hectory Lopez, Bob Hale, Bob Cerv, Jim Coates, Luis Arroyo, and Danny McDevitt.  Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication.  20 baseballs total.
