Lot #201:

9/18/1963 New York Mets vs. Philadelphia Phillies Game-Used Baseball (Last Game Ever At Polo Grounds)

“SPALDING” manufactured ONL game-used baseball. This baseball was used during the New York Mets last game played at the Polo Grounds before moving into Shea Stadium. There is a light coat of shellac with some cracking. Below the manufacturer’s stamp reads, “POLO GROUNDS” and on another panel reads, “9/18/63 PHILS 5 METS 1” written in pen. In our opinion, the ball is in G condition.
