Should you count yourself in that camp, you'll find satisfaction here, with this selection of (5) period signed 1950s-1970s baseballs. All were autographed by Hall of Famer and star players while they were active in Major League Baseball. Each signature has been enhanced fully or partially, with the results averaging ("6-7"), and the balls average (VG to VG-EX+) quality.
