Description
This is an Official Major League Baseball (Selig Era) featuring multiple signatures in blue/black ink. Most notably, the signature above the MLB logo appears to be Mickey Mantle (likely a late-career or show-signed addition if authenticated). Other signatures include MLB reliever Mike Stanton. The ball features the red stitching and standard league branding.
Key Features
Features a prominent signature resembling Mickey Mantle. Multi-signed balls from this era often feature full team rosters or themed groupings (e.g., 500 Home Run Club or All-Stars).
Authenticity Indicators
The ball itself is a genuine Rawlings OMLB. The signatures require professional authentication (PSA/DNA or JSA) because 'souvenir' or 'stamped' balls look similar to hand-signed ones. Confidence: Medium without certification.
Flaws to Note
Significant yellowing (toning) of the leather consistent with age. Some signatures are beginning to fade or bleed into the leather. No visible UV protection was likely used.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Heritage Auctions, Goldin, or eBay (only after professional authentication).
Selling Tips
Do not attempt to clean the ball. The most critical step is to send this to PSA/DNA or JSA for a 'Full Letter of Authenticity' (LOA). A Mantle signature on an Official League Ball carries significantly more value than one on a generic ball.
