Spalding Cushioned Cork Center official baseball, signed in fountain pen and ballpoint ink by members of the 1956 World Series Champion New York Yankees, housed in a custom etched glass display case. WITH a Certification Number AD00635 and Letter of Authenticity signed by Joey Orlando, President of PSA/DNA, dated 5 June 2017.

The ball displays numerous period pen signatures across the panels, including key stars, Hall of Famers, and fan favorites: Mickey Mantle (sweet spot / upper panel area), Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Gil McDougald, Bill Skowron, Tom Morgan, Elston Howard, Bob Turley, Andy Carey, Eddie Robinson, and Jerry Coleman, among others. Plainly visible beneath the signatures are the Spalding trademark oval stamp and "Cushioned Cork Center / Yarn Wound" panel markings. This baseball captures one of the most iconic franchises in sports history at the peak of its 1950s dynasty.

The ball is housed in a handsome, custom-built square glass display case featuring an etched interlocking "NY" Yankees logo on the front pane, supported by a mirrored internal base and a finished dark wood pedestal frame.

This lot is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Fleischer’s Auctions guaranteeing the signature’s authenticity and providing for a full refund should it fail authentication by PSA/DNA.

The signatures exhibit light to moderate age fading consistent with 1950s ink on leather, with a few signatures showing rub wear along the seams, but remaining legible throughout. The leather shell displays pleasing, uniform cream age toning with light surface scuffing near one seam.
