First, get the ball out of that wretched cellophane! It actually serves as a detriment to its ultimate preservation. Secondly, it is very difficult to clearly see all the signatures. I would ask that you post updated scans sans cellophane. The "perfection" of this ball is marred with the clubhouse Joe McCarthy signature. While an active MLB manager (especially during his tenure with the Yankees), McCarthy would have others sign items on his behalf. He became a greatly accommodating signer in-person and through the mail following his retirement from the game. The appearance of a secretarial version of McCarthy's signature on team-signed Yankee balls is more common than not.

I would like to see the ball out of the plastic wrap.
