Fake Rawlings Official Major League Baseball (ROMLB) ? ?
I just picked up an autographed ball off flea bay this week and to my surprise this "ROMLB" ball showed up on my doorstep. I've never seen a Rawlings ball with black markings. I know its a complete knock off but was just curious to see how many other collectors have seen these out there.

Re: Fake Rawlings Official Major League Baseball (ROMLB) ? ?
I've seen those on eBay before. I just assumed they were the current version of the "Official League Balls" that Rawlings used to sell. I don't think they're knock-offs so much as they are "official size/weight" balls made by Rawlings for use by amateurs hoping to use MLB equivalent equipment, without having to buy actual MLB quality products.

I've seen these 5toolplayer balls
that seem to be perfect for your GUU "Name" but that ball that you put up is missing the word "Official". Could it be a knockoff ball? If so why go through the trouble of get Bud Seligs sig perfectly done. Curious.

It's not a knockoff. It is a Rawlings baseball and they used to be for sale in Wal-Mart and I am sure other places. Not sure about now.
I needed some baseballs for practice a couple of years ago and found the same ones at Walmart while looking for official size and weight balls.
