Awesome collection. Also I still don't get it why someone would like to have a baseball signed by Vedder rather than a signed LP.

Thanks Patrick. I certainly understand your observation about Vedder. The ball I acquired was signed in person and being sold on eBay buy a guy very near where I live. It's really nice. I got it for $250 then paid Beckett to write a full letter. I think I did okay here. My motivation for acquiring the ball is that I have 3 different categories of balls I'd like to add to this collection. 1) former players of note, 2) players who contributed to the 2016 team, even if not on the world series roster. In fact, there are 3 or 4 players in the case now that match this description. 3) celebrity fans - so far I have Vedder, Bill Murray and John Cusack. There are others. But I'm only pursuing the world series balls and only authenticated (except for the Vedder, which I was happy to take care of myself). Anyway, this is how I'm approaching the project.
