Hello all,

I got some opinions on another forum on this, but figured there were even more experts over here that I could get opinions from.

Picked up this ball with some other stuff from an acquaintance that I have bought many cards from before. He has a whole storage locker of cards and memorabilia that he is selling through and in my other dealings with him he has never been dishonest. I actually was digging through the locker and found this along with some signed cards, sets, and a binder of IP Cubs autos among another ball I will post in a different thread. I asked him about the balls and at least for this one he said his Grandfather collected autographs and got that one signed.  All told, the amount I paid had the value of the balls in mind, but was pretty much covered by the other items so I took a flyer with the balls included. Definitely could be a bogus story, or he may just be ignorant as he has had the locker for years. Either way, I don't imagine I would have trouble getting most or all of my money back if I am fairly confident that it is fake. If we think it may be legit, I would send them to JSA or PSA to be authenticated. I can see some similarities with balls on HA, but am no expert for sure. Thanks for any insights you all can give and why if able from your experience with signed baseballs. I appreciate it!!
