Hi all!

So I am so happy I managed to find a game used ball that was not only MLB authenticated to a Billy hamilton stolen base, but also photomatched! I know that photomatching baseballs can be hard, but I managed to get lucky here! So the MLb authentication detail is: EK 806434 and states:

But I found the image below and was able to match the ball as it has a distinctive mark. See below:

I don't collect baseball, but I can appreciate how difficult a task this must be. Looks pretty good, congrats!

Nice job! Looks like a solid match and MLB authentication seals the deal.
