Autographed Baseball...... Is this real?

A friend sent me these pictures. He found the ball while cleaning an attic. It doesn't look like a stamped ball. I hope the images are good enough.

Is it a real MLB ball? What signatures are identifiable, are they real? What approximate year is it from. Value, if any. All opinions are welcome. Thanks

That is a 1976 NY Yankees team signed Lee McPhail baseball. If it has Munson, value is around $400. No Munson, youre looking at $150 imo.

I see Munson North panel. nice find and the sigs are real except for Berra. Berra is a clubhouse sig.

it is an official AL baseball, representing a Yankee team from the mid 70's likely.  key to the ball is Munson, who is on there, but the quality of the photos are so bad in some cases, I cannot really see the signature other than to identify who its intended to be.

Hi Herbert, welcome to the forum.  Please post your discussion in only one category on the forum.  It will show up for everyone to see no matter which category.  Don't repeat the same question in different areas - as it spams the forum.  Thanks much :)

Sorry, the multiple posts was not intentional.

taking a closer look at this ball, in my opinion it is full of clubhouse signatures.  the Catfish Hunter does not look correct, nor does the munson.  or piniella. or berra.  need better quality photos to be certain.  I would not put a lot of faith in this ball carrying any value.  and the condition does not help it.

He sent me a better view of the Munson and Hunter.

I don't like either of them.

Agreed. sloppy sigs.

Thanks to all for the opinions. I will try to get a sharper picture of the Munson, and a few others.

Herbert, just look up the roster for 1976 yankees and you can pretty much make up the signatures. The reason this ball is a 76 because of Doc Ellis on the ball. He played for the Yankees that year alone. Good luck and have fun doing your research.
