This is an ever so slightly game used official minor-league baseball. It is signed directly on the sweet spot by the Rockies number eight prospect Jared Thomas. Jared is an outfielder in the Colorado Rockies organization. The ball is in excellent condition. It is white with no evidence of any rips, stains, tears, abrasions, or discoloration. I think one could easily mistake this ball for being brand new and never used. As I say it is ever so slightly game used. The signature is directly on the sweet spot and shows no evidence of any bleeding or smudges. Please refer to the photos to appreciate the quality of this autographed minor league baseball. Jared signed this in my presence, so I personally guarantee the authenticity of the signature.
