    I can already tell you by the way the stitches are pulling through the leather that that is not even an official MLB baseball. The stitches are way to big and all of the signatures are facsimile. Souvenir World Series baseball. Hate to be the naysayer, but those are the facts. Not even close to the real thing.

    I agree.

    It even looks like a plastic covered ball.
    Not even leather (that could just be me though).

    The other two posters are correct. Also note the fact that the ball is snow white, which is not a characteristic of GU balls. No marks are visible on it. Also if someone had such a valuable ball why sell it on Craig;s list of all places.

    I'm pretty sure that the first post is written with tongue firmly in cheek.
