I have three signed baseballs from Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, and Ted Williams that I have had in my possession for 15+ years. I am considering selling them and possibly getting them authenticated before doing so, but I don't want to waste money on authentication if these are obvious forgeries or potentially unknowingly sell a fake autograph to someone else. I understand all three of these signatures are at high risk for forgery, so that is why I am seeking your help in reviewing these for me. If any or all of these are fake, I would appreciate some feedback on how you knew they were fake so I can feel comfortable destroying them in that case. If you need any extra pictures, let me know.
Appreciate your help.

Forgot to mention, DiMaggio is signed on a Gene Budig baseball, Mantle on a Bobby Brown baseball and Ted Williams on a 1992 All Star Game baseball
Mantle is 100% known fake style (Banana Mantle). Sorry.
I don't believe any of these are authentic.
Anything you can tell me about the DiMaggio and Williams? I can see the Banana issue Steve mentions in the Mantle ball when I compare it to known authentic examples. I knew there was a risk that none of these would be authentic, but just want to make myself comfortable with the idea of destroying these before I do if that is the consensus.
Thanks

All three are forgeries.
Like Steve mentioned, look how slowly-penned the DiMaggio is.
