Roger Maris signed ball

I just picked this up for $300. What do you guys think? I usually like to get the opinion of the experts before purchasing something, but I didn't want to let this one get away.

The problem i have with this signed ball is that it looks brand new, plus the signature looks like it was signed yesterday, too fresh, seems like there is no fading, what`s the story on this signed piece? others will chime in with their opinions.

The ball actually is a bit faded...it's not as white as it looks in the photo. The guy I bought it from was a limo driver in 1984, and supposedly drove Maris to opening day festivities at Yankee Stadium. His story seemed legit. The signature definitely is strong, but if it's authentic, it should be a plus. The only downsides are that it's personalized, and it's signed on a Little League ball. Thanks so much for your feedback.
