In looking over the various things I can do for authentication, I see my options as Authenticating, Grading the ball, or doing both.
Please take a look at this ball (I did a close up of the pre-printed Rawlings area), and it seems that the stamped logo would bring the rating down. Any suggestions on what to do IF I decide to send this to PSA/DNA?
The ball is Rawlings, stamped: Lee Mac Phail, HOF members are: CAL JR., Brooks Robinson (retired in 1981, but must have been in the clubhouse the day the ball was signed), Earl Weaver, Jim Palmer, and Eddie Murray. From the sigs that are on the ball (with the exception of Brooksie), the ball could only have been signed in 1982. I have the full list of who signed it somewhere. I did not get the ball in person.
Any input from the experts on this board would be greatly appreciated.
Other than the stamped logo, the ball is in very good shape, bright, bold sigs in blue ballpoint.
I have also decided to do something else with this ball in that I have collected an autographed card of all the players who signed the ball. I am down to needing only one: the Ripken, Jr. I will find a nice 82 that has a vintage sig on it. I don't want an 82 card with a modern sig on it. It is the only active baseball related project I am working on. Anyone else ever do this?
