Vintage Ball Guys

Paul, I was the buyer for this ball before the guy took it down, pissed me off some fierce that he relisted it only a few bucks higher than what we talked about, he said he'd try to pull it before someone bought it but that obviously didn't work out for me. There's definitely not a Pulliam under the cap, at best there's a 1911 Tener, but from what I saw in the auction photos, it's just a blank panel, most likely a collegiate or minor league ball.

Nice piece, and okay price for what you got it for. Let me know when you're ready to part with it!

Sorry man, but thanks for your input. I do appreciate your opinion, and hearing your view on it.

It'll probably go up on Ebay eventually, but I thought of offering it to the new mansion owners as well.

You may get to view it if I decide to use your new service, but still researching it and seeing if I can indeed determine it is a LYNCH without damaging the ball. U say Tener, but Tener didn't start 'til 1913, this is dated '11, you wouldn't be trying to lowball me now, j.k.

Colleges and the minors used Official National League Balls back in 1911?

Tener wasn't league president until 1913...it it was a 1911, wouldn't it be a Lynch?

Just imagine the "clank" you would hear if you hit that ball with one of dem new-fangled metal bats.

Any pitcher worth hs salt would get so much movement on that ball with that added, off-centered weight, that any batter would have a hell of time making contact. Of course the catcher could wind up breaking a finger or three.

That's exactly what me and another guy were discussing while showing him at the office today. We said the break you'd get on this ball would be something.

I meant LYNCH sorry...I was hopped up on pain meds from a root canal when I posted last night lol.
