An Antiques Roadshow guest left expert Philip Weiss stunned when he revealed he had inherited two rare baseballs from his dad who had kept them in a sock drawer
A guest appeared on Antiques Roadshow in the US, bringing with him two baseballs he had inherited from his father, one of which stunned appraisal expert Philip Weiss.
Philip then intrigued viewers by teasing: "Well let's just say this is going to be a tale of two baseballs." Philip then said: "The 1927 Yankees is arguably the best team in baseball history and obviously people will argue that but I personally think that could be true." He pointed out tell-tale signs of a stamp ball: "One of the key things you look for in a stamp ball is very often you see the signature going off into the stitching. You can't sign a baseball like that with a signature going off into the stitching." He continued to explain the differences: "What happens is that it would be stamped onto the ball itself and they would fold it up and stitch it that way.
