Signed 2006 World Baseball Classic Official Baseball

This is a regulation-sized official baseball from the inaugural 2006 World Baseball Classic (WBC). The ball is constructed of a white leather cover featuring a prominent multi-colored 2006 WBC logo which incorporates blue, yellow, green, and red elements encircling a stylized baseball graphic. It features the signature red raised stitching characteristic of professional-grade balls. Notably, there is a hand-signed autograph in blue ink located on the side panel near the stitches. The autograph appears to be written with a felt-tip pen. The ball is currently housed in a clear acrylic protective display cube, which has helped preserve its condition. Physically, the leather appears bright and retains its original creamy white color with minimal signs of yellowing or typical age-related spotting. The ink of the signature is crisp, though the identity of the signer would require specialized verification to confirm market value. There are no visible scuffs, grass stains, or indications of game use, suggesting it was acquired specifically as a souvenir or for autograph purposes. The craftsmanship is consistent with official league manufacturing standards of the mid-2000s.
