ROGER MARIS SIGNED VINTAGE BASEBALL — NEW YORK YANKEES HOME RUN LEGEND

Vintage baseball featuring a prominent “Roger Maris” signature across the sweet-spot/side panel area. The ball displays noticeable age, toning and surface wear, giving it a classic period appearance.
Roger Maris (1934–1985) became one of baseball’s most celebrated sluggers while playing for the New York Yankees. In 1961, Maris hit an extraordinary 61 home runs, breaking Babe Ruth’s long-standing single-season record of 60 set in 1927.
Maris was a two-time American League MVP (1960 and 1961), a seven-time All-Star selection, and a member of multiple World Series championship teams during his career.
A desirable piece of vintage baseball memorabilia associated with one of the most famous home-run records in Major League Baseball history.
Condition: Vintage ball shows substantial age-related toning, spotting, handling wear and surface discoloration. Signature remains visible but exhibits fading. Please examine photograph carefully for condition.

When it comes to certification on autograph and signed items, this is our professional stance and opinion:

The items certified by PSA, JSA or Beckett authentication, which are opinion based, are the ones that will sell for the most money, and are considered fully accepted within the industry.

We also believe items that are certified by forensic examinations, such as this piece, have gone through a more thorough examination using the basic principles of handwriting, are actually more accurate. Our Signatures are authenticated by an independent, court approved, third party forensic examiner. Examinations may include exemplar comparison, age and paper testing, ink testing and date of item.

These are the simple facts that exist in the Art Of Collecting Signed Memorabilia
