A fine offering of two baseballs chock full of late 60s American League talent. The 1967 example sports 19 signatures including Mantle, Killebrew, Hunter, Stanky, Yastrzemski, Conigliaro, and Petrocelli among others. The ball itself shows an even tone with Cronin stampings still highly visible. Signatures are done in a variety of inks and rate from 6 to 9. The 1968 has been signed by 26 players, highlighted by Mantle (sweetspot), Carew, Yaz, Killebrew, Robinson, and McClain. The blue ink signatures have sunk into the leather over the years with several no longer entirely readable. The balance rate an average of 7. When displayed with the Mantle signature forward it retains fine eye appeal. The ball itself is an OAL Cronin example showing a nice cream color. The autographs come with a letter from PSA/DNA.
