This looks very slowly drawn. Looks odd with lighter top and bottom. See what others say.

Thanks for your response and input. Truly appreciate it! Is it just me or does it appear the ink in Joe and DiMaggio have varying color?

A 1995 ball would indicate DiMaggio nearing the end of his life. I have seen exemplars where he slowly signed around the mid/late 90’s. I’m on the fence, there probably is someone who really knows DiMaggio out there.

Nick, 

I believe you are more knowledgeable than I am. What does your gut say? This is coming from an estate. Lady selling husbands stuff

When in doubt, let it out. Buy somewhere else preferably PSA for DiMaggio.

The signature is fake, no doubt about it.
