I acquired this piece at an estate sale in New Milford, CT a few years ago and even though it has some serious condition issues, I've often wondered if the ball and signatures are authentic or not. My gut says it's a fake
What do you think?
What can you share with me? .
Any idea what year this could be intended to represent?
Can you tell me what leads you to stamped sigs? I noticed some of the signatures actually meet the stitching and I would therefore suspect an interruption in the flow and profile of the signature. Would they have been stamped prior to stitching?
Would this souvenir ball be from the 1960 or 1961 season and is there any value here?
You are absolutely correct. As a matter of fact I just found a 60-61 Yankees facsimile team signed ball that sold on Ebay for $80 in much better condition. The layout of the signatures are also the same
Looks like mine will become a gift for someone who wants but can not afford a Yankee souvenir ball.
