I think it would be very hard to confirm authenticity of a signature like this without additional proof or evidence. I wouldn't buy it as is unless I really trusted the seller and they got it themselves.

I checked out the seller's items on ebay. I will say many of the signatures I looked at seemed ok. That being said, I noticed some fishy signatures (imo) and some fishy listings. One thing that stood out was the multiples of big names they have sold. Is it likely they have dozens of presidents, multiples from Chris Kyle, multiples of Donald Trump, multiples of Hillary, multiples of Johnny Cash, etc. all going at mid to low prices? They also sold another Hanks on a Gump VHS with a signature that looks off to me.

Also, they have list an Ali signed hat with a signature style I don't think has been seen since before this type of hat was manufactured.

In closing, I would say study the seller and the signatures in detail before giving up any of your money on their items.

Multiples of Trump & Hillary are possible if gotten in the last 6 months. They are signing like crazy on the campaign trail especially Trump. I know many people who have gotten him dozens of times. As for this ball, I would stay away. Very hard to verify this signature. It could be real as I have seen (and gotten) some real abbreviated Hanks sigs and since this is a round surface, its possibly real. If the seller could provide more details, ,,,

To help you compare, this I have collected in person on June,20th 1984 in Hamburg. It is the back-cover of my press-invitation.

thank you for all your information.
I do not know what to think of this seller, I find an old announcement also for a ball signed by Tom Hanks the signature is different but the description of the object is almost identical
