Vintage Baseball with 15 "Signatures"
Obviously, this is a facsimile ball, but I don't understand why this ball would have been made. Tony C. was only on one all-star team--1967--and most of those players were not on that team. What other rhyme or reason is there to this one?

I don't see him either, the seller says he is on there.

Very good possibility!

You are correct. I found a few similar balls that have facsimile signatures of Rawlings endorsers. On the panel right underneath "Official," the other balls have "AB" stamped. The seller of the ball in question does not show this panel.
