That's a Budig baseball which places it around 1995-1999. Mantle signed Budig balls are unusual but do exist.

Not liking any of the autographs.

Ted Williams didn't really sign baseballs after 1993 (due to a stroke) and if he did they're VERY sloppy.

I could tell right away that the Mantle and DiMaggio were bad. I always have trouble with Williams, but if two are bad, the third is almost certainly bad. Besides Big Bad John knows his stuff, and I don't think there's anyone better in this area than Terrier.

Thanks everyone. I bought this more than 10 years ago. I wish I had this resource back then. I'll have a few more items I'll be asking advice on - hopefully at least some of them will turn out to be legit.
