This is a brand new, never used official minor-league baseball. It is signed on the sweet spot by Washington Nationals pitcher Anthony Banda. The ball is in pristine condition. It is pearly white with no evidence of rips, stains, tears abrasions, or discoloration. The autograph is directly on the sweet spot and is clear. It shows no evidence of any bleeding or smudges. Please refer to the photographs. Anthony signed this in my presence a short time ago. Therefore, I personally guarantee the authenticity of the signature!
