※ The seller is not the first owner. This is a ball with a handwritten autograph by Koji Yamamoto (then manager). There is no proof of authenticity, so !! Please refrain from purchasing if you have any doubts !! The autograph is on a ball with the team logo from that time. The number 88, from his first term as manager (1989-1993), is written on it. The previous owner seems to have put cellophane tape on the ball itself and wrote the player's name, etc., on it, leaving marks around it. There are no other particularly noticeable defects. The logo has not disappeared, and the autograph is boldly written with a thick pen, giving it a powerful feel. The ball is also in the white category. Items from his first term as manager are very rare, and I am not sure of the market price, so I have set this price for now. However, I am not considering a significant price reduction. It will be reinforced with cushioning material and shipped via courier service. Professional Baseball NPB Hiroshima Toyo Carp Meikyuukai (Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame)
