Seven years ago while living in the State of Washington I received a notice from the post office that I had a pracel package to pick up. Surprise! I found this signed baseball in it. NO RETURN INFORMATION ANYWHERE ON OR IN THE PACKAGE! I informed the post office and they stated to hang-on to it for a year. After that, it was mine. I am pretty sure that it is a souvenir/facsimile baseball. It is in EXCELLENT condition. The Mgr Ralph Houk and Mickey Mantel signatures are on the "Sweet Spot". There are 4 coaches and 22 players sig's on the ball. Such as Berra, Maris, Ford, Boyer, Tresh and others.

It does seem like a facsimile but still very cool!
Agreed definitely seems like a fax due to it's quality and non-yellowing of the ball. The signatures are VERY crisp for a ball this age as well.
Mantle signature looks like his earlier signature as well, which is indictitive of it's age...if it is real
Stadium Souvenir Ball, the stamps for the Mantle and Berra are copied after early 1950s sigs. Has some value because yours is in nice shape.
Did you ever get any money for this ball? I have one just like it.
