This is an autographed baseball by Akahoshi, a player for the Hanshin Tigers. The ball is an official SANYO ALL☆STAR GAME 2005 ball. The NPB mark is originally faint. I apologize, but I didn't know who he was at the time, and I've kept it stored in a dark place since I received it, so I haven't displayed it. I'm leisurely listing items that I found in a cardboard box while decluttering. I'll include the display stand. I hope it goes to someone who appreciates it more than I do! No claims and no returns, please.
