Description

As a bonus, the person that purchases the first baseball will receive the original 3-piece coupon. The purchaser of the second baseball will receive a color copy of the coupon. These balls are both from the National League. Both baseballs are still in the original shrink wrap and include the original boxes.

The box is the only indicator that these are associated with the Morale Department of the USMC. The printing has a large EGA, and the saying "The Marine Corps Builds Men".

The Gillette Official League World Series Special Autographed Baseball was a promotion by the Gillette Safety Razor Co. and manufactured by the Wilson Sporting Goods Co. The Special Offer Was made available from 1964 through to the last expiration date of March 1, 1966. The previous offer expired on Dec. 31, 1965. "To get your autographed Baseball send only $1.00," cash or money order, payable to "World Series Special" then fill out a coupon from Gillette Slim Adjustable safety razors, and mail it to Spring Park, Minnesota.

As indicated on the coupon, Check one of two baseballs that were made available. One featuring the signatures of the American League Stars; Harmon Killebrew, Al Kaline, Luis Aparicio, Jim Gentile, Steve Hamilton, Dick Radatz, Smokey Burgess, Albie Pearson, Bob Allison and Dick Donovan. The other baseball features the signatures of the National League Stars; Ernie Banks, Willie Mays, Nelson Fox, Juan Marichal, Jim O'Toole, Felipe Alou, Willie Davis, Gus Trandos, Ray Sadecki, and Roy McMillan.

The sweet spot on the baseball reads "Official Gillette Baseball". The panel above reads "World Series Special Horsehide cover" The panel below reads, Made in U.S.A. **** Cushioned Cork Center" the rest of the ball featured 10 American or National League stamped facsimile autographs. The baseball was shrink wrapped, and inserted into a box with a coupon for Wilson Sporting goods.

A common flaw with these baseballs are bleeding or sweating of the signatures, this is most likely caused from the ball being shrink wrapped before the ink was dry on the stamped signatures. Baseballs with the ink bleeding into the cover, can be seen through the original shrink wrap but some baseballs the ink sweated onto the plastic, and sticks to the plastic when removed.
