A Gorgeous Fazzino Painted Baseball of Sandy Koufax

Fantastic!

As you know, there are very few things I love more than Dodger-related artwork. Over the years I've written about and shared numerous pieces that I've found online and in my own collection. Unfortunately, this item I'm featuring is not something you can find on my bookshelf. Instead, you can go to eBay and make a bid (bid link) -- it's likely to be way out of my reach anyway.

As you can see, shown above and below is a painted baseball of Sandy Koufax by noted New York based pop artist Charles Fazzino. As always, his work is colorful and filled with various accouterments -- glitter, 3-D elements like a raised Dodger logo and Swarovski crystals placed throughout the ball. You can also find a Sandy Koufax autograph on the sweet spot and the artist signature, as well.

In the past I've run into two other Koufax painted ball by Fazzino. You can check those out here and here. Those balls sold for $1,066 and $493, respectively. The baseball shown here is currently at $413 with five days to go on the auction listing.
