This is a brand new, never used official major-league baseball. It is signed on the sweet spot by former major-leaguer Dustin Ackley. The ball is in excellent condition. It is pearly white with no evidence of rips, stains, tears, abrasions, or discoloration. The autograph is directly on the sweet spot, and it is crisp with no evidence of smearing or bleeding. Please refer to the photos. Justin signed this in my present several years back, so I personally guarantee the authenticity of this signature.
