Question Anyone here do anything w/signature authentication?

Have the baseball below that belonged to my late Grandfather. I've had it sitting in a box for over 20 years. No idea if the signatures are real or not. I'd imagine it has to be worth some money if they are real.

No way anyone can tell you based on a picture. Take it to an expert.

As a non trained arm chair quarterback they are not faded enough to be actual signatures and look like a mass produced ball. The first part of that last sentence is more important than the last part. Take it to someone.

Agree with Nuckle, my first impression was those sigs look way too clear for their age, probably printed on the balls. But who knows, we could be wrong. Get a real expert to have a look. Good luck!

I have discovered that it was a stamped mail in ball from the 60s

Signatures are interesting because I myself cannot sign my name exactly the same so how can a celebrity?

Most actually can't either. I have gotten duplicate autographs from conventions where I physically handed the celeb an item and they signed it in my presence and they are slightly different signatures.
