“The Under Wraps Series 1 is one of our most innovative product lines,” said Ross Tannenbaum, President of Fanatics Authentic. “Fans can win big by finding a unique baseball in their box or even join us for a once in a lifetime experience at our Chicago show. Due to the excitement surrounding Series 1, we look forward to creating Under Wraps for other major leagues in the future.”
By purchasing from the Under Wraps Series 1, baseball fans and collectors have the chance to take home a rare piece of MLB history and to win a priceless grand prize for the experience of a lifetime. Under Wraps Series 1 is now available for purchase at select Hobby stores, http://MLBShop.com, http://www.sportsmemorabilia.com/ and http://www.Fanatics.com.
Every ball from the Under Wraps Series 1 has been authenticated by an authenticator under the auspices of the MLB Authentication Program, which is the most comprehensive league-wide memorabilia authentication initiative in professional sports. Since its launch in 2001, it has become the industry standard for autographed and game-used sports memorabilia authentication. Designed to distinguish officially authenticated MLB memorabilia from other items on the market, the program offers an objective third-party authentication system that guarantees genuine memorabilia for all MLB fans.
