All of the official ball stampings are legible, but "NEW YORK YANKEES WORLD CHAMPS 1952" is written in black ink over the label, and the ball has been coated with a moderate layer of protective shellac. An outstanding team ball from the height of the Yankees' late 1940s - early 1950's baseball dynasty.
