There are autographs—and then there are relics. This is the latter.
An Official American League baseball (Bobby Brown era) signed cleanly in blue ink by Albert Belle, inscribed with a rare “50/50” notation—commemorating one of the most iconic statistical feats in baseball history: Belle’s 50 home runs and 52 doubles during the strike-shortened 1995 season. No player before or since has ever matched that combination in a single year.
This ball isn’t just signed—it’s mythologized. The creamy leather and red laces frame the inscription like a shrine to dominance. Belle didn’t do many inscriptions. When he did, it meant something.

Whether you’re a collector of rare autos, a historian of ‘90s baseball, or a believer in Belle’s Hall of Fame candidacy, this piece delivers the narrative and the presence. It’s not graded, but it’s authentic—and it’s staying.
