Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Three Autographed Baseballs Including Luis Tiant, Al Oliver, and Merrill Kelly
This lot consists of three autographed baseballs featuring signatures from Major League Baseball players representing different eras. The first ball is signed by Luis Tiant in blue ink on the sweet spot. Tiant was a three-time All-Star pitcher noted for his tenure with the Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians. The second ball is signed by Al Oliver in blue ink on the sweet spot and includes a handwritten inscription reading To [Name], Best of luck. This ball features a printed Texas Rangers team logo. The third ball is signed by Merrill Kelly in black marker on a side panel and includes his jersey number 29 as an inscription. Kelly is a starting pitcher for the Arizona Diamondbacks. The collection is accompanied by two pieces of blue painter’s tape containing handwritten identification and player career notes provided by a previous owner. These items are sold as-is and have not been authenticated by a third-party service such as PSA/DNA, JSA, or Beckett.
Condition report:
The baseballs exhibit signs of age, including general toning and yellowing of the leather surfaces. The ink signatures of Luis Tiant and Al Oliver show moderate fading. The Merrill Kelly baseball displays visible surface scuffing and smudging.
