It is an autographed baseball that has been loaded with career statistics, records, and interesting trivia from a particular player's career in a unique one-of-a-kind fashion. It includes certified authenticity of that signature, usually from JSA, but sometimes from PSA/DNA, MLB Authentic, Beckett, TRISTAR, or Steiner Sports. All or nearly all of the stats, records, and trivia were hand-painted by Dennis Purdy, former publisher of the Vintage & Classic Baseball Collector magazine (hence the VCBC in the name). Each baseball has a unique hand-lettered serial number and includes its own matching COA. 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.
