Tommy John

Era

Item Type

Vintage official league baseball showing heavy toning and wear

Condition

Poor condition with severe toning, soil, and a faded signature

Overall Assessment

A heavily worn vintage single-signed baseball with significant condition issues. The main strength is the historical player connection, while the major concern is heavy ball discoloration. The sensible next step is submission to a third-party authenticator if provenance is strong.

AI Estimated Value

Not an official valuation

$20 to $50 unauthenticated, limited by heavy item staining and fading
