Looking for outside opinions on Giamatti baseballs in Coleman boxes

[autograf]

I was buying Giamatti balls in Coleman boxes in 1995-1996 when I was doing shows in the Cincinnati area. They were about 85-100 bucks a dozen and a great sell as they would consistently sell for $25 with the Giamatti name. Got quite a few signed by Rose during that period. They did not have the Haiti stamp and, frankly, had substandard ink on them compared to other balls of the era. They would smudge much quicker in the printing than other balls.

Interesting...You guys never wondered why or were told why they were remaking the Giamatti baseballs back then?

As the above poster said, you could buy them at a price that was below the current baseballs. I used all of mine for autographs I got through the mail or at shows
