Michael Chang Signed Tennis Ball in Display Case with Walnut Base

Annihilate the landfill, Annihilate the landfill, serve up a piece of '90s tennis history

Remember when a 17-year-old kid beat Ivan Lendl at the French Open and changed tennis forever? This is that guy's autograph on a Top Flite tennis ball, tucked into a clear acrylic globe on a walnut-finish base with engraved brass nameplate reading 'CHANG.' Black marker signature is legible and intact. No COA came with the estate, so we're pricing accordingly — but for a tennis fan, this is a delightful desk-shelf conversation piece from the golden era of American tennis.

The D'Beetle Difference • French Open Legend's Autograph: Michael Chang became the youngest male Grand Slam winner in 1989 at age 17. This signature in black permanent marker remains crisp and readable on the ball's felt surface.

• Classic Trophy-Style Display: Clear acrylic sphere approximately 3" diameter sits on solid wood base measuring roughly 2.5" x 2.5". Brass-tone engraved nameplate adds a proper sports memorabilia presentation.

• Top Flite Ball, Preserved Condition: Standard optic yellow tennis ball shows minimal handling wear. Ball retains good felt nap and shape from being display-stored rather than played.
