Edited to add: He also has a '52 Mantle that has a frosted slab as well and a Yankees signed team ball with Ruth on the sweet spot. The ball has a sticker from a Heritage Auction, but if you look at the top left corner of the sticker, it looks like it's been removed.
After reading David's comment regarding the questionable sticker from Heritage Auction, I had to fire up my Google page. For some reason, this thread has really touched a nerve with me. The seller is selling a very expensive 1924 Yankee Team Signed Ball:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1924-NEW-YOR...item19cab89f61

I have attached a scan of the sticker in question stating the ball was Lot 43098 in Auction #151127.

Here is a link to that particular auction:

That particular auction and lot number was for a Joe Dimaggio signed ball that sold for $131 on July 3, 2011.

I'm not an autograph expert, but once again, the sticker attached to the ball at least raises questions. I hate to keep questioning items from the seller in question, but it still is an active auction. The seller just placed it on Ebay this morning as a 1 day auction.
