Help with autographed baseball

rob80 · 01-06-2020, 01:07 AM

Came across this ball and figured out some of the players but still missing some. Any help would be very appreciated. Also thoughts on likely hood to be legit.

Players ID'd
Kershaw, Trout, Jeter, Harper

Obviously a guess, but all signatures look suspect to me regardless of who they are. Puig’s one of the other ones.

Same as the poster above. Looks like the same guy signed them.

r0yals2012 · 01-06-2020, 01:35 AM

The 4th one down at the bottom looks like Salvador Perez but looks off as well

rman112 · 01-06-2020, 01:39 AM

If you haven't bought it yet or are able to return it, I would do that if I were you.

I am going to get the PSA quick opinion on it. Normally I wouldn't even look at something like it but the guy is a former team employee that collected in person autos.

Team employees for the most part would lose their job for asking for autographs . If certain of this story psa is pointless. Are you certain he worked for the team ? Or maybe he’s using that to pass fakes?

That jeter is either the worst jeter I ever seen because he was signing with his wrong hand while driving or fake.

Save your money. Nothing about this ball is legit.

dodgerfanjohn · 01-06-2020, 07:30 AM

The Kershaw and Puig are wrong.

I’m no expert but Kershaws auto is crazy, but fairly consistent. I have multiple in person Puigs and that ones 100% bad. Not even a rush job could explain that.

texmcpherson · 01-06-2020, 08:31 AM

2nd picture looks like a really bad Trout

stryke3_mb · 01-06-2020, 10:30 AM

I wouldn’t waste my money on the PSA quick opinion. I’d stay far away from this ball.

And the person if they are claiming they got it in person cause then you know who made it

SGC300ier · 01-06-2020, 11:58 AM

I wouldn't care if all the auto's were real, I still wouldn't buy that. It literally looks like my 3 year old stole your baseball and got up on the counter and grabbed a pen and went to town.

Not true, totally depends on position

(I used to be a MiLB(Reds) Employee)

PejaD · 01-06-2020, 08:05 PM

So fake and what a waste of a nice ROMLB

Soxfanguy · 01-06-2020, 08:09 PM

Trout in 2nd picture is fake and looks awful

Depends on the position that the employee worked in. For the most part yes, team employees are discouraged to ask for autographs but most know a way to get around this rule. It is just a matter of finding the right time to ask. Game day personnel usually have a hard time finding the right opportunity but it can be done. Full time employees rarely have a problem getting what they need in terms of autographs. so to dismiss this ball as authentic based on the fact an employee cannot get autographs would be a mistake. I am NOT saying the autos on this ball are authentic because those autographs...if that is what they are, are atrocious. All I am saying is that you cannot dismiss them because there would be no way for an employee to gain access to the players because that is basically untrue.

Just a FYI I Was a 8 year MLB employee with three of those years being a game day employee and five being a FT employee in the front office.

I see Jose Abreu on there but won't guess on validity.

awz50 · 01-06-2020, 11:01 PM

Ewww it's so awful

Halonut · 01-06-2020, 11:01 PM

definitely fake IMHO. Looks like the same person signed them all. Fairly consistent pen pressure throughout and the "J" on Jason Heyward and Joey Votto in the 3rd pic are nearly identical.

Dbacksbaseball · 01-06-2020, 11:09 PM

I see the following fakes

Utley
Jeter
Trout
Kershaw
A-Rod
Harper

All comically bad.

Soxfanguy · 01-06-2020, 11:12 PM

Run don’t walk away from this
