The Mantle looks great in my opinion; nice early Yogi Berra too. Cool piece.

Mantle, Berra and Spahn are good. not familiar with the others but most likely genuine also

Sweet piece, heck of a price. I think the "official league ball" is what devalued it....but still definitely worth that price IMO.

I am new to baseball collecting, how does the ball affect the value? Thanks for the education. :)

Thanks guys! I was worried because after I won the auction, i went to psa site to check the cert number and it wasn't in their database. That might reflect the price on this. I called and emailed psa and they told me I need to take couple pictures and send to them so they can verify and update the database. I am still waiting for the item to be ship so I was going to do that, but when I check again a day later the item is now in their database.

So I asked them what I need to do to get the psa sticker on the LOA or ball. At first, they told me I have to resubmit and pay $100 and shipping fee, but later that day they sent me another email telling me I can just ship it in and they will put the sticker on for free. Good job PSA!

I do want the sticker on the LOA, but debating I should have it on the ball.

I wouldn't worry about the sticker, and I definitely wouldn't get the ball stickered. You have the LOA, that's all you need.

Most collectors prefer to have signatures on a "Rawlings Official Major League Ball" (ROMLB). Regardless, for these sigs and that price this was a good deal.
