Description
Collection of 16 autographed baseballs and one encapsulated baseball card. Features a variety of commemorative and official balls, including a Rawlings Official American League baseball and two World Series themed balls: one featuring the 2005 World Series logo and another with a gold-stamped 2009 World Series logo. One baseball is presented in a clear acrylic display case alongside a Donruss Rated Rookie baseball card featuring a Texas Rangers player, both mounted on a finished wooden base. The collection includes numerous signatures in blue and purple ink, with identified players including All-Star Cecil Fielder, Vinny Castilla, Doug Brocail, and Paul Bako. Several balls are marked with China on the sweet spot, indicating souvenir or practice-grade construction. The signatures are primarily located on the sweet spots and side panels. Each 3″ diameter.
Condition report:
The collection is in good overall condition. The baseballs exhibit minor age-related toning, light yellowing, and occasional spotting on the leather surfaces. The signatures remain generally legible, though some show light fading consistent with age. The acrylic display case and wooden base show minor surface wear but remain structurally sound.
