Hi Tom,

The price for the Kelley ball seems pricey to me too. Two complimenting points about the ball, beyond that he's a rare signature. Kelley wrote a variety of other things on the ball, which significantly enhances its desirability. In almost all cases, the more writing like this, the more expensive. Due to this embellishment, the ball almost appears as if it's a so-called trophy ball.

I like the story about Kelley, that he was so vain that he kept a pocket mirror in his cap so he could look at himself while he was in the outfield.
