Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>That makes Mastro think it's a 19th Century Reach ball?<br /><br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/2kpaua" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/2kpaua</a><br />

Posted By: <b>Max Weder</b><p>I know nothing about old baseballs, but I could swear that was the softball I left outside all winter in 1974 <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Wow...I'm not even 1/4 of the way into the memorabilia and I find this little gem. <br /><br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/2mm847" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/2mm847</a><br /><br />A prime example of auction companies using the wishful thinking tactic.

Posted By: <b>Mike H</b><p>Looks like an oil cloth ball from the 20s or 30s to me. I don't see any Reach logo and there isn't two tone stitching. I think they are waaaaay off on this. I cannot believe this will stand up to any scrutiny. The idiot who buys this should call me immediately to set up a massive purchase!!!

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Yep...it's definitely not leather. Much more in resemblence to my Spalding Star baseball from the 20's.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Clint</b><p>I have about 5 of these somewhere. Here's the only one I can find right now. They have a canvas hide. The thing about the other ones I have is that they were aquired along with some milk bottles from a carnival game. I'm pretty sure Sam Crawford used this while playing for the Nebraska Indians, if anybody collects that kind of stuff. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><img src="http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z186/ksfarmboy/S5000259.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Heh! <img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />I already have about 10 of those canvas type "baseballs". I just mentioned the carnival type ball on a thread on the card side.
