No worries about the pic Allen, I can see all I need to share with you it's a well known Banana Monkey Mantle forgery. Better luck next time!

Thanks to all who took the time to offer opinions on this ball.  Thankfully, I have learned to solicit opinions from you guys before purchasing.   Thanks again!

Darwin, what do you mean by "Why fake?"

Do you think this is authentic?

Yes. Compare the 2, can u tell the difference? I’m not being a wise guy. I just like to know how people arrive at their conclusions.  of Mine was obtained personally in the early 80s. I used to help run autograph shows.
