Opinions on this ARod and 1998 team signed Yankee baseball

I have bought from this seller quite a few times and his pieces were legit, but I'm not familiar with Yankees autographs as I do not follow the evil empire(Red Sox fan here). I tried looking at authentic ARod autographs, but his signature just seems to be everywhere and changing constantly.

I would love to have these in my collection. Although it is hard for me to say, the Yankees from the late 90s and early 2000s arguably were the most complete team in history.

The team signed ball is signed by JOE TORRE, BERNIE WILLIAMS, MARIANO RIVERA, TINO MARTINEZ, JEFF NELSON, SHANE SPENCER, DAVID WELLS, DAVID CONE, CHAD CURTIS, CHUCK KNOUBLAUCH, ORLANDO " EL DUQUE" HERNANDEZ, JOE GIRARDI, JORGE POSADA, RAMIRO MENDOZA, LUIS SOJO, CHILI DAVIS, PAUL O'NEIL, TIM RAINES

Thanks,

Kevin

the Girardi also looks weak.....J is very non typical. I find it hard to believe that all of these signatures can be explained away by being "rush" jobs.

Even if by some stretch, it were authentic, its a poor example. I would not want to own it at any price. there are really nice ones out there that can be had at reasonable prices.

Yeah. The more I think, the more I may wait. I would really want a ball with Jeter on it so most likely I will keep watching and waiting now that I've thought about it a little.

Any thoughts on the ARod?

I see what you mean about the factory style of the ball. Other balls have been signed like that with authentication so I mean it could all just be circumstance. Lots of overlaps and uneven spacing which leads me to still thinking its authentic. I'll take a chance, send it to psa if I get it, and if its fake its fake and I have a new expensive chew toy for the dog! Thanks Mike!

Any other opinions possibly on authenticity?

Thanks,

Kevin
