Winning buyer will receive this beautifully signed, MLB authenticated baseball, of future superstar infielder for the New York Yankees, GLEYBER TORRES.  Torres did a signing with The Topps Trading Company back in August 2017, so this may be one of Torres' earliest autograph on an official MLB baseball. With his red hot start, Torres won the AL Rookie of the Month for May!  This is an awesome signature on the sweet spot!  This signed baseball has been authenticated through Major League Baseball (MLB) authentication system (see www mlb.com/authentication).  A counterfeit proof hologram with a unique identification number is affixed to the ball.  The unique id number can then be cross checked on the authentication site and show exactly who signed the ball and when it was signed (see the various pictures attached - JD465081).  This system of authentication is just as reliable if not even more reliable than a piece of paper COAs which can be easily duplicated.  The unique hologram can not be duplicated.  Winning buyer will get the EXACT signed baseball by Torres as pictured...and as a bonus, the signed baseball will come inside a nice drawstring bag from Topps and will be shipped to you in a brand new Ultra Pro UV protection ball cube display case included for free along with the purchase.  Also, I will include the document from the MLB site showing the ball's unique id number so that you have a record of when the ball was actually signed and CERTIFIED by the authenticators of Major League Baseball!  

Torres followed up his successful 2018 rookie season with an even better 2019 season as a 22 year old.  By the end of the 2019 season, Torres is often found batting in the heart of the Yankees lineup.  He finished the 2019 season with a .278 batting average, with 96 runs scored in 144 games, along with 152 hits, 90 RBI and an amazing 38 home runs as a middle infielder.  Torres earned his second All Star game appearance as well. If you've not locked in Torres cards and collectibles, now is the time before he leads the Yankees to a World Series championship!  He may be the heir to The Captain, Derek Jeter.  Get Torres items now before all of his signed material double and maybe even triple in value!! I do have a few of these...and in the market for a few Acuna certified signed balls or Bowman mega boxes...if you've got some, let me know. 

There is no return for this item.  A portion of the proceeds from this listing will be sent to the world relief organization World Help. I am partnering with them to build a deep bore water well in a 3rd world country. This water well will provide clean/usable water for a community of up to 1000 people! Thanks in advance for your contribution towards this cause.

Update 8/16/20 - as eBay has required me to switch over to "managed payment", I will need to adjust each of my listings one at a time for the charitable contribution part.  Though my listings now do not say so specifically about the charity contribution, I will continue to deduct 10% off every sale and send those proceeds to TWO different charities I am fundraising for. One charity, World Help, drills and installs water wells that provide clean/usable water for villages of up to 1,000 people per location in Africa.  Fundraising recently completed funds needed for water well #3 so thank you to everyone that has purchased from this store over the last 4 years...you played a part in that!  The other 5% will go to an orphanage call Nueva Esperanza Children's Home in Tijuana, Mexico. This orphanage cares for 30+ children and is run completely from donations from people. I have visited the orphanage 4 times over the past 10 years and it's a joy to see the children each time.  So rest assure that 10% of your purchase is going to these causes.
