First of all, thanks for accepting me into your group!  A little about me: it's been quite some time, but back in the sportscard "boom" years of the 90's I was a pretty successful show dealer in the Boston, MA area.  Since about the year 2000, I got out of it.  I handled back then a couple of Williams autos, but both of them were certified pulled from packs, so I had no question about the authenticity.  This ball is a totally different story.  I now make my living selling mostly media (DVD's, CD's, comics, books, audiobooks, video games, computer software, and athletic shoes, basically anything I can turn a few dollars on) on Ebay.  I spend weekends going around to yard sales to find inventory.  I picked this ball up at a yard sale last weekend.  The holder was all beat up, and the woman having the sale had this buried in one of those Wal-Mart type big blue totes along with a lot of junk.  When I asked her what she wanted for it, she just shrugged her shoulders and said "make an offer".  She said she had no idea where it came from, and it was pretty obvious that she could not have cared less about it.  Knowing that 49 out of 50 of these are fakes, I told her honestly I did not want to pay more than $5 for it, because it was like buying a scratch ticket with terrible odds of winning.  She was happy with the $5; no negotiation at all.   Once I got it home I got online to pull Williams autograph photos.  Some things about this ball look good, others not so good.  I read mostly good things about Stacks of Plaques, but their biggest drawback was obvious.  Real easy to pull the ball out of the holder and switch it with a bad one.  The ball was the correct era (Bobby Brown American League President from 1984-1994) but it was scuffed up.  I wouldn't think that a ball for an autograph would be damaged.  The ball looks clean other than the scuffing.  Then I looked up discussion forums, and I found you guys!  Just looking for opinions; if most of you give it a thumbs-up I'll send it off to PSA.  If not, I'll save my money, put it on my desk, look up at it once in awhile and laugh!  Awaiting your combined expertise.
