I have this baseball that was given to me by my grandmother and she told me that this belonged to her dad, my great grandfather. I've sent this to several different places for review and they all say its authentic. Auction houses, sports memorabilia houses, you name it. But when I asked Beckett their thoughts on this they said its unlikely to be authenticated through their quick review service. I haven't sent this to PSA or JSA yet. I don't feel the need to spend hundreds if its not the real deal. Right now I'm trying to get an educated honest opinion from people.
