Coming off back to back World Series championships in 1977-1978, the New York Yankees were flying high when they signed this OAL/MacPhail baseball. Toned to a dark cream shade, this ball plays host to (26) autographs that range ("6" to "9") in potency, with an average of "7-8". While the factory stamps are faded, this condition makes for a nice canvass to showcase the signatures that would have been less prominent had they been signed over the factory ink. Full photo LOA from JSA.
