I should add, all the balls I have posted are from the collection of a deceased family member, who I think was likely duped when buying many of them. I'm learning as I go, but any reply, even if it's to say it's a blatantly obvious forgery, would be appreciated - just to affirm my suspicions and determine whether I need to bother following up or seriously authenticate any of these. I know it can be quite a process and expensive to get them professionally appraised, so I would rather avoid doing so if the answer is obvious to experienced collectors. I've been appalled at what I've learned so far about the level of fraud in this hobby!
Thank you!

This is an early-era Strawberry...Maybe late 1980s or early 1990s. It's authentic, in my opinion. Feel free to post others. I'll take a look as I can.

Thank you for your opinion!

I have posted around 30 baseballs in total, posted in a separate discussion for each one.  

Not sure best way for me to direct you to them, maybe by searching my name (Baseball beginner) in the search bar would lead you the posts?

If you are able to give opinions on any of them that would be very appreciated.

Thanks again
