The story behind this ball is that the ball is now in the UK. The dad came to the USA from the UK and somehow got this ball autographed and brought it back to the UK. It has been sitting in the family's residence since.
Pretty good story I must say
.
I always like to get some provenance with autographs that I buy, especially because almost all of my finds come from outside the hobby, but this one seemed "too cute."
And the other signatures seem slowly drawn and just too neatly laid out on the ball. And that Babe does not look like it has been on that ball for very long IMO.
