A "must have" piece for the baseball collector who is in search of the unique, offered here is a Rawlings official American League (Brown) baseball that is beautifully hand signed on the sweet spot by arguably the two greatest center fielders to ever step on the diamond: Mickey Mantle and Mike Trout. To have the autographs of these generational talents on a single item is a rare and desirable coupling, but this ball stands as arguably the most unique Mantle/Trout combo item that we've seen. Not only have both players signed, but they've both have executed autographs with their full names, "Mickey Charles Mantle" and "Michael Nelson Trout". Some minor uniform toning is present along the panels as showcased in the pictures, otherwise this ball stands in overall fine condition. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication (JSA) for Mantle's autograph, while the entire ball is full authenticated and accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from Steve Grad & Brian Sobrero/Beckett Authentication Services (BAS). To say this ball is impressive is an understatement. It's flat-out extraorinary!
