How did Tokens Secure these Baseballs?
Tokens & Icons has been a licensee of Major League Baseball since 2009. We work closely with MLB’s authentication department and have fortunately been able to secure these game used artifacts directly from MLB.
Yes, however balls used in the World Series have special markings on the outer cover that denote the year of the World Series and a unique World Series logo design that changes from year to year
Why Do Different World Series Balls have Different Color Markings?
What is the Difference Between Game Used and Game Ready World Series Baseballs?
Game ready, as the name suggests, are balls that have all the World Series markings, have been prepared for use in the game, but never were put into play. Tokens uses only Game Used baseballs.
Is this collection Limited? Will Tokens be Getting More World Series Balls from my team in the future?
It mostly depends on ball availability. While there is a possibility we'll have the opportunity to secure more World Series balls in the future, World Series Collections will never be high volume items, in this sense the collection is limited.
Will There Be Additional Products Made from World Series Balls?
Tokens uses the outer leather covers for a series of Watches, Cuff Links, Leather Bracelets & Pendants and the inner wool core for Friendship Yarn Bracelets. This more or less uses up the entirety of the ball.
Periodic cleaning with a silver cloth is recommended.
