The Mantle and the Williams are authentic.

If you could, post a picture instead of an attachment.

Makes it easier for the members to respond.

Thanks.  I thought so too.  Went ahead and purchased it have been in the market for a 500 HR ball for awhile.  Came w a JSA letter plus the original receipt for the home shopping club from 1990.  Appreciate the help!

Justin, awesome that you found an authentic "500 HR Club" signed baseball.

Shop At Home also sold approximately $750,000 in forgeries to consumers during the 1990's.  

Fortunately you found one of the authentic versions.

Thanks!  Appreciate all the experts weighing in and glad to hear consensus is authentic.  I thought all the Shop at Home issues were more in the mid 90s?  Figured if it was bought in 1990 that was likely before forgeries really took off.
