why does everyone think this is fake? does it really look that much different than this PSA example?

That's my struggle. I don't like the flow of the sig much but then again this ball has the same flaws.

I got him in person at a show in 1985, and his signature looked exactly like this. he died 4 years later. his later in life signatures showed the signs of age. but I believe the subject ball to be authentic.

I sold my Gomez ball about 6 years ago. It also looked like it was signed yesterday. he used a blue ink pen, similar to the one in the subject. fading has a lot to do with how the ball was stored. I have signatures that are over 30 years old that look like they could have been signed today.
