That doesn't seem like quite the miracle that Heritage is claiming.
I posted pics of both balls because I found it odd that the stitching is going in different directions. I thought Reach was anal about that sort of thing, but I guess not.

OK, thanks. I'm learning more. Is it not true that this ball is most certainly a 1927 model? Is that the 1 in 3 that you speak of?
Do you think it's a bad/hypocritical thing that this information was posted by Heritage, as others here seem to be arguing?
