Dustin Pedroia / Jacoby Ellsbury / Adrian Gonzalez autograph Global Authentics fake / true?

Hey guys!

I am pretty new to this site. I have been collecting autographs here and there, for the past few years. A while ago, somebody I knew gave me a gift, straight off from eBay : a Dustin Pedroia / Jacoby Ellsbury / Adrian Gonzalez signed mini helmet. He got it for 200$, saying it was cheap because Gonzalez was traded away.

Now it was  authenticated by Global Authentics and bought frm Flagship_Collectibles, off eBay. I have not found a review for them here. This is why I want your opinion. Could this be the real deal? If not, where should I go to get a real one? Can I take action against the store, if it is fake?

I don't know any of these signatures well enough to be certain, but a simple search of Global Authentication on this site will let you know how I feel about them... 

Yeah, I have read those comments and this is why I posted these here. The person who bought it had no prior knowledge of autographs, so I guess the eBay seller might be a faker.

it is a forgery, in my opinion.

What would make think it is fake? Not doubting your opinion, but just would like to know what sells it to you?

I am familiar with Gonzalez and Pedroia.  the Gonzalez is too "stiff". his authentic signature is more flamboyant:

Pedroia fakes are all over the place.  Here is an authentic one:

Could this be a legit place to get a Pedroia ball?

yes, that ball is authentic

Just to know, for sure, what makes this place an authentic dealer? How can a judge a place? I am not doubting, just want to make 100% sure. 

all I can tell you is the ball is authentic. I know nothing about the dealer, except the price is very high. you should be able to get one for less than half that.

Where should I check for better prices? Also, I have to say that I am a sucker for the Rookie of The Year and AL MVP signs. Do you know places where I could get such a ball for a better price?

Thanks

If you don't know anything about autographs, find one PSA/DNA certified or JSA certified on eBay. 

But if I were to buy the 250$ baseball, I would be buying something legit? It does seem that after a look on the internet that they do a lot of player signings. I mean, would that be such a bad buy?  The thing is, looking through eBay, I really was not satisfied of what I saw.
