What is a VCBC SuperStat baseball? It is an autographed baseball that has been hand painted, typically in team colors, that has been loaded with career and season-best stats, personal records, awards, and interesting trivia from a particular player's career in a unique one-of-a-kind fashion.  It is the creation of baseball artist Dennis C. Purdy, former editor and publisher of the Vintage & Classic Baseball Collector magazine (hence the VCBC in the name). Each VCBC SuperStat baseball includes its own matching Certificate of Authenticity.  Every VCBC SuperStat baseball is unique, there are no two exactly alike. Each baseball comes with a new pair of cotton gloves to protect your baseball while handling. The home plate ball stand is NOT included with this purchase. IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTES!: 1). All VCBCSuperStat autographed baseballs are shipped fully insured by U.S. Priority Mail for faster shipping and better handling.
