Dream Team Basketball - Real? Fake?

Hi! New poster here.   I was just looking over a lot of sports memorabilia my late father got for me when I was a kid and I ran across this 1992 “Dream Team Basketball.”   Looking over the sigs the ball to me looks forged but I wanted to get other opinions before I sent it out to PSA and wasted a bunch of money.  Couple of things stick out to me.   For one the players signed their signatures with their regular season number instead of their DT number.  Second, a lot of the letters look very repetitive and similar from player to player.

Anyways I have posted the Jordan / Pippen sigs on the sweet spot.  If those appear to be forged obviously all of them are.   Any and all help is greatly appreciated.  I’m certainly no pro in any of this but again they do look like forgeries to me.  Thanks!!!

Yes, I’m sorry to say they are forgeries.  No need to waste your money sending it to PSA.  It’s too bad when all your dad was trying to do was get something nice for you.  Pretty much anyone who collects autographs has at one time or another been burned.  But over time you learn to proceed with caution so you end up the real deal.

Thank you, that’s what I figured. Unfortunately there was no internet in 1992 to educate buyers, and my father certainly was no professional.  Even to a layman like me the sigs looked pretty bad but I just wanted a confirmation. Oh well that’s what I figured so it’s no surprise. Thanks again for your help!
