Is this Nolan Ryan signature authentic?

I picked this up at a baseball card show in 1993. It didn't come with any documentation and I can't bring myself to pay the return shipping fee from PSA to get it authenticated with them. I've always wondered if it is real. It is signed on a William White National League ball. Thanks!

So the slant is what kills this one?

The first one is not, but I believe this one is.

I just bought that one on ebay, so that makes me feel better.

This one looks authentic.

Crud, I just noticed that the second one possibly has an issue with it.  I looked up the PSA authentication number on PSA's website and I noticed that they list it as a Gene Budig ball, not a Bobby Brown ball.  What are the chances there is an error on the PSA website?

Tim, you can items, including signed balls, directly from Nolan Ryan at his foundation website. Then you need not worry about all the forgers. I think they around 75 to 80 dollars and some are offered with HOF year, strikeout inscriptions etc. Hope that helps you or any others wanting real Ryan autographs. Good luck
