Willie McCovey, Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Johnny Bench Autographed Baseballs. Are they Authentic?

Picked up these baseballs, was wondering what you guys think in terms of them being authentic or not? They come with COA's from The Score Board Inc. Thank you in advance!

We'll see what the guys who really know baseball have to say, but I would be surprised if they were sold by Scoreboard...even tho they have one of their COAs.

Chris, a Scoreboard COA means nothing today, even tho they sold autographs they had signed. Most people who know the marketplace want PSA/DNA, JSA and now Beckett. They bring a lot more.

Scoreboard COAs are mostly sold with questionable autographs today. And most are fake COAs.

Nope. They're not good. Close, but no cigar.

Unfortunately, one of the biggest scams for last 5-7 years has been sellers of forgeries using an old Scoreboard (edited/copied) cert to sell their garbage.

Scoreboard never sold forgeries, but the Scoreboard COA has been tainted by scammers because they know that the majority of people who buy autographs, purchase the COA and not the autograph(s).

Christopher, These were purchased in the 90's and the guy has the receipt from Scoreboard when it was purchased. Does that change anything you think? Thank you for your reply.
