Miguel Cabrera/Justin Verlander

Picked these balls up, wanted to know if they were authentic. They looked right to me, but would appreciate your guys' opinion on them.

Thanks!

The Miggy looks good, but to be sure, there are a bunch that are PSA that you can compare to. The JV, although I'm a huge Tigers fan, I'm not overly familiar with.

Thanks Steve, I appreciate the feedback. The Miggy has a Hollywood Collectibles hologram on it, which I believe he has a signing deal through, but it looked a little off from other examples I had seen. Just checked PSA and it had a handful of similarities. Regarding the Verlander, it looks close from what I've seen, but I know he doesn't do paid public signings anymore and the location I purchased from said it was a private signing (Take 2 Authentics). The value of his signature is pretty high and could lead to a bunch of forgeries. I was hoping to also get an opinion on whether or not it would be worth sending into PSA for value purposes, although I don't intend to sell either. Each ball is $30 for authentication. Thanks again.

I'm not very familiar with Verlander's signature. But the Cabrera ball looks good. Hollywood Collectibles is very reputable. They are the only solid source for Cabrera. I would say their cert/hologram is likely more desirable than PSA's opinion cert for most knowledgeable collectors. At least is is for me.
