BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A Collection of Four Autographed Baseballs Including Mickey Rivers and Dave Righetti
This collection consists of four autographed baseballs, including three identified items and one New York Yankees souvenir ball. The first baseball is signed by former center fielder Mickey Rivers. The signature reads Mick Rivers in ink and includes the inscriptions Best Wishes and a personal dedication To Rock. This ball features standard red stitching on a leather cover. The second baseball is autographed by former pitcher Dave Righetti on a side panel in blue ink. Righetti is noted as a two-time All-Star and the 1981 American League Rookie of the Year for the New York Yankees. The third baseball commemorates Ralph V. Suozzi, the Mayor of Glen Cove, NY from 2006 to 2013. The ball is inscribed in black ink with MAYOR, Ralph V. Suozzi, and 2009, with the top of the ball inscribed OF GLEN COVE. The fourth baseball features a printed New York Yankees top hat logo and bears a faint, unidentified signature in blue ink located below the logo.
The lot includes three strips of blue painter’s tape with handwritten identification notes corresponding to the identified balls: Ralph Suozzi 2006-13 Mayor, Glen Cove, NY; Mickey Rivers AS Yankees, Rangers WS; and Dave Righetti Yankees, AS ROY. These signatures have not been authenticated by a third-party service and are being sold as-is.
Condition report:
The Mickey Rivers baseball exhibits heavy game-style wear, significant toning, soiling, and a section of broken red stitching. The Dave Righetti and Ralph Suozzi baseballs are in excellent condition with clean white leather surfaces. The New York Yankees logo baseball shows light toning to the leather.
