c.1958 Roberto Clemente Single Signed Baseball, Official NL. JSA LOA

No collectibles capture the spirit of baseball history quite like a single-signed Roberto Clemente baseball — and this example stands among the elite. Most notably, the signature is boldly and beautifully centered on the coveted sweet spot — a striking rarity for Clemente. He typically signed his name on a side panel, often stacking “Roberto” above “Clemente,” making this sweet spot placement especially unusual and desirable.

With superb legibility and no signs of fading or smudging, the dark autograph stands out beautifully. Signed during his early playing days, this Official Spalding N.L. (Giles) baseball highlights Clemente’s flowing, 3-inch signature. Additionally, this ball was acquired from the family who obtained it directly from Clemente while he was warming up before a game at Forbes Field. Authenticity is beyond question, with full certification from JSA, one of the hobby’s most trusted third-party authenticators.  

Single-signed Clemente baseballs are among the scarcest in the hobby. Players of his era rarely signed singles during their careers — especially someone as humble and team-oriented as Clemente. His sudden and tragic passing in 1972 at the young age of just 38, still in the prime of his Hall of Fame career, only deepened the scarcity and significance of surviving examples.

Priced quite attractively as we were fortunate to acquire it at a favorable price and are pleased to pass those savings on to you.
