I secured each of the autographs, in blue ballpoint, directly from the respective person, as I lived in the Atlanta area (Marietta) for approximately seventeen years, from 1987-2003. Thus, I guarantee that each of the autographs would pass any of the leading authenticators such as JSA, PSA, and / or Beckett.
I have maintained this VINTAGE multi autographed baseball within its original boxing, with original tissue paper, within a Rubbermaid container and stored in an A/C storage unit facility since the Fall of 1991. Thus, this VINTAGE RARE collectible item has been shielded from light exposure nor touched until today's placement offering on eBay. Thus, this THIRTY-FOUR (34) year old VINTAGE COLLECTIBLE ITEM is in EXCELLENT condition. Of course, there is customary toning
However, NONE of those aforementioned yellowing spotting affects the autographs.
ALL AUTOGRAPHS, in blue ballpoint pen, are BOLD, clean, and clear. No smudges. (Please see the many provided color photos of the pictured item to independently ascertain condition. I will be happy to provide additional close-up color photos if required before purchase.)
This pictured item is the actual item to be received upon purchase.
This is an investment piece collectible with its value only to continue to grow with the passing of time.
