Looking for outside opinions on Giamatti baseballs in Coleman boxes
Hey guys, just wanted to get some outside opinions to add to mine in regards to finding Giamatti baseballs in Leonard Coleman boxes. I'm sure there are a few different conclusions everyone has come to, just want to see if anyone has some strong opinions on the reason.
Three things to note before you respond:
1. - The Giamatti baseballs that were issued during MLB league play in 1987-1988 were all made in Haiti and displayed a Haiti stamp underneath the Rawlings logo, I have never seen a game used Giamatti without the Haiti logo.
2. - The Giamatti baseballs in the Coleman boxes do not bear the Haiti stamp, which is consistent with the manufacturing of the Coleman baseballs from 1994-1999.
3. - William White was President in between Giamatti and Coleman, there are White baseballs with the Haiti stamp on them, then Costa Rica, then blank like the Coleman baseballs. (in that order).
Thanks for the opinions, hope to hear some good ones!
