Need Help w/ Baseball
 
My grandfather owned a Budweiser distribution facility from the 1960's - 1980's. After the Cardinals won the World Series in 1967, the Cardinals sent out the ball pictured below to all the distribution facility owners. I wasn't old enough to ask questions when my grandfather was alive so I am now looking for information. To me the signatures look stamped but I am not an expert as getting back into the hobby and I can't believe they would send out a stamped ball. Can anyone provide any information about this baseball?

Thanks that's what I always thought but my parents have always insisted that it was real.

Thanks I was 99.9% sure but needed that extra 0.1% from the people that see these things all the time.

Just because it's stamped doesn't mean it isn't an interesting item, especially given your family's connection to its history. Honestly, the ball wouldn't be spectacularly valuable even if it was autographed; in either event, I think the best recommendation would be to keep it and enjoy it yourself.

That would be appear to be a 1964 ball not 1967 as it has Manager Johnny Keane on the sweet spot. Keane managed the Cards from July 1961 through the 1964 World Series.
