Description
This is a vintage Montreal Expos souvenir baseball featuring the classic 'M' logo circle. The ball contains multiple signatures in black ink, including Hall of Famer Tim Raines. The signatures appear to be the 'stamped' or facsimile variety common on souvenir balls sold at stadiums, rather than hand-signed ink.
Key Features
Includes Hall of Famer Tim Raines; nostalgic Montreal Expos branding; vibrant team colors on logo; excellent display piece for Montreal baseball fans.
Authenticity Indicators
The uniform thickness and consistent fading of the ink across curves suggest these are souvenir facsimile signatures. Confidence in them being mass-produced stadium souvenirs is High.
Flaws to Note
Minor surface toning/yellowing due to age; signatures appear to be facsimile/stamp-printed rather than live ink which significantly limits value compared to authentic hand-signed items.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, Facebook MarketPlace, or local Montreal-area sports memorabilia groups.
Selling Tips
Clearly state in the listing that signatures are facsimile/stamped to avoid returns. Highlight Tim Raines' name in the title. Use clear photos of all sides of the ball.
