Official League Ball Appraisal

Rawlings OLB3 Official League Baseball

This is a standard Rawlings OLB3 Official League recreational baseball, constructed with a synthetic white leather cover and classic raised red stitching. The item features dual-panel construction joined by traditional 108 hand-stitched seams. The central branding displays the 'Official League' stamp with the 'OLB3' model designation flanked by two stars. The 'Rawlings' corporate logo and 'R' trademark are positioned prominently above the main text. In terms of condition, the baseball shows significant signs of play and environmental exposure, including organic yellowing and surface dirt across the primary panels. A notable brown scuff or grass stain is visible near the upper seam, and the red thread suggests slight fraying and darkening from contact. As a recreational-grade ball, it contains a cork and rubber center rather than the professional-grade cushioned cork core, making it suitable for practice or youth play rather than professional league games. Its style and markings indicate a contemporary production within the last 10 to 15 years.
