the ball is likely authentic. I don't like the photos.

The first one is certified by GA, I'm 50/50 on its authenticity.

the problem is the resolution on the photo is not good, so its difficult to see the flow of the signature. but the letter formation looks ok

With regard to the ball- see if you can get clear scans because I'm not sure if it is shakiness in the signature or just a pixelated scan; it could be authentic but I wouldn't say 100% for sure unless there are better scans.

The DiMaggio photographs look no good. The M in the first one and the g's in both look bad. Also, I've come to notice that the "Ds" in DiMaggio that look like the Diet Coke "D" usually are not authentic/questionable.
