Backstory:
My husband used to collect old baseball cards. We would typically buy from a local dealer or at some shows. However, about 20-25 years ago there was a guy having a yard sale, selling the contents of his recently deceased uncle. We stopped by, bought a cardboard box full of baseball cards and various memorabilia, didn't really go through the box until we got home.
There were a couple signed balls of players we didn't recognize, but at the bottom of the box there was a ball in a case, ball wrapped in tissue paper, when we opened it, we found an old Brooklyn dodgers ball with autographs of babe ruth and Lou gehrig.
We did take it to a local event that JSA was at, paid for authentication but they were unable to authenticate on site, didn't deny or confirm.
I would like to send to PSA, but also don't want to waste anymore money. Google recommended this forum for opinions, so here I am.
Details: it does appear on the seam of the ball there is handwritten numbers and letters, looks like maybe JT755a, cant really make out the last letter.

These are very bad forgeries — perhaps someone trying their hand at forging
But wouldn't JSA have shot it down immediately, rather than saying it was inconclusive?
