Is it real? 1982 California Angels ball?

I am thinking about sending this ball in to see if it is authentic. Pictured are the Rod Carew and Reggie Jackson signatures. Others on the ball are Don Aase, Fred Lynn, Bobby Clark, Bob Boone, Bob Grich, Darryl Sconiers, Ken Forsch, Geoff Zahn and Don Baylor. If I send I'm thinking about just asking for one signature to be authenticated or not. Any opinions?

It appears to be stamped, but would need more pictures to be sure.  If it is actually signed, the two signatures pictured don't look authentic.

Sorry,
Drew

ok thanks :) guess i paid too much attention to the smudged one and didn't really look close enough. maybe the city could use it for games or it can get a new home in the trash can :)

Looks like a souvenir baseball.

That's a pre signed ball from the gift shop. I had one just like it when I was a kid.

The ink from the "signatures" go down into the stitch holes. Stamped before assembly.
