This is an ever so slightly game used official major league baseball. It is signed boldly on the sweet spot by Stephen Piscotty. The ball is in very good condition. One would have to look very closely to determine that it was indeed game used. The ball is White and shows no evidence of rips, stains, tears or abrasions. There is one mark directly to the left of the official major-league baseball logo. It looks as if a pitcher dug something into the ball to get a better grip. However, this mark does not detract significantly from the overall eye appeal of the baseball. The signature is directly on the sweet spot and shows no evidence of bleeding or smudges. Please refer to the photographs to appreciate the quality of this autographed baseball! Stephen signed this in my presence a few years back, so I personally guarantee the authenticity of the signature.
