Cal Ripken Jr Opinions Please

I believe both to be Genuine, they have the (it) factor in his C and al. J on the BB seems suspect but still genuine. Opinions please

I'm 100% certain on the photo being genuine, the only reason i'm not 100% on the ball is the J being suspect, however the C and al ,addition to the R looking and being placed as they should in his older Signature,I Think it is genuine though.

After looking at these examples I`m thinking twice about the ball being good. Look at the C in Cal it doesn't come off the bottom straight like all these other examples. It comes around and loops back up. I also have two authentic Ripken balls not of early sigs but they both come around straight under the al part of Cal.

If anyone agrees.....or disagrees.. I would like to know.

This thread is interesting and full of information. Thanks.

I have a lot of examplar's of older Sigs where the C loops up, and where the C comes off straight. Wondering if the difference may be A Ballpark or IP Sig, and possibly A sit down Signing? Notice Al's Book Signature, and like most recent Signature's the C comes off straight rather than looping up. He's got a flat surface bracing his arm and hand while signing opposed to nothing bracing his arm or hand at the ballpark. Just a thought.
