※ The seller is not the first owner. This is a ball with a handwritten signature by Tsuneomi Tsuda (Tsuneomi Tsuda). There is no proof of authenticity, so !! Please refrain from purchasing if you have any doubts !! The signature is on a ball with the team logo from that time. It's a signature from his time as the fiery stopper, number 14. The ball is noticeably dirty overall, but there is no significant damage to the signature. The team logo is also slightly faded, but still remains. Considering that the ball is almost 40 years old, and that methods of ball storage were not yet established at the time, I personally think it's still in relatively good condition. The signature area doesn't have any of the major smudging, fading, or blurring that is common with old balls. Overall, I think it would be a "tasteful" item for a collection. ※ This is a personal opinion. Selling due to collection reorganization. However, I am very hesitant to let it go, so I don't think it will be listed for a long time. Please be aware of this. Please do not purchase if you are overly concerned about condition. There are very few listings, and I don't know the market price, so this is the price for now. However, I am not considering a significant price reduction. It will be reinforced with cushioning materials and shipped via courier service. Professional Baseball NPB Hiroshima Toyo Carp Fiery Stopper
