BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! Collection of 4 Autographed Baseballs including Dave Roberts, Jose Guzman, John McDonald, and 2008 Toronto Blue Jays Team
This collection features four individual autographed baseballs, each housed in a protective acrylic display case. The first item is an Official American League Baseball (Gene A. Budig, President) signed by Dave Roberts in bold blue ink on the top panel. It is presented in a spherical acrylic holder on a dark wood-finished base with a nameplate. The second item is a Jose Guzman autographed 1994 All-Star Game Commemorative Baseball, featuring the Pittsburgh Pirates logo and unique black and yellow stitching, signed in black ink on the side panel. The third item is a 2008 team-signed Official Major League Baseball (Allan H. Selig, Commissioner) featuring multiple signatures in purple ink, including notable players Lyle Overbay and Gabe Kapler, identifying this as a 2008 Toronto Blue Jays team ball. The fourth item is a John McDonald autographed official leather baseball, signed "John McDonald 16" in black ink, corresponding to his jersey number during his tenure with the Blue Jays and Indians.
Condition report:
The Dave Roberts baseball is in excellent condition with bright white leather and vibrant red stitching; the signature is bold and clear. The Jose Guzman baseball shows slight natural toning to the leather surface, though the commemorative logos and signature remain well-preserved. The 2008 team-signed baseball is in fair to good condition, exhibiting visible scuffing and minor surface dirt on the Rawlings logo panel; the purple felt-tip signatures show slight fading and ink spread typical for the medium on leather. The John McDonald baseball is in good condition with minor natural aging to the leather and a crisp, legible signature. All acrylic display cases are intact with minor surface shelf wear.
