You will get the exact autographed baseball pictured. I have provided high resolution photos of all six panels of the ball, so you can decide the grade/condition for yourself. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
COA info: If a baseball has been certified by any of the following companies, then their certification (COA) is what comes with the ball: JSA, PSA/DNA, MLB Authentic, Steiner, Online Authentics, or Tri-Star. That certification may include one or more of any of the following used by those companies: holographic numbered sticker on the ball; autograph show ticket; authentication card/letter/receipt that coincides with the certification number on the ball; photo ID of player signing the ball; or any other format used by these six companies. Any ball that wasn't certified by one of these six companies will include a COA from Stuff of History with our guarantee that the ball will pass the authentication processes used by either JSA or PSA/DNA. If it doesn't, you have 30 days from time of delivery to return it for a full refund. Team-signed balls do NOT come with my COA due to the possibility of secretarial or clubhouse signatures and because players' signatures often times appear a little different because they're signing much smaller than normal to allow everyone else on the team to get their name on the ball as well.
