With those photos how are we supposed to judge?

Might be the terrible pics, but the sigs kind of look traced. I would want better pics before even considering that ball.

I can't afford it but I was thinking about going to look at it for fun. I bet it's not real?

I can tell pretty much from the bad pix that that ball is fake.

Just compare the Jordan and below that I believe is supposed to be Laettner. The size, slant and spacing on both signatures looks the same in the pictures. Laettner's signature during the Dream Team era was pretty readable, then his NBA sig became very tall and the letters all bunched up. Frankly, if that is supposed to be Laettner it isn't close.

There are very, very few complete Dream Team balls in circulation. Most of them were compiled by in-person autograph hounds, but most if not all will be missing Ewing, who is among the toughest sports signatures there is.

Many were sold during the time of the Olympics, with COAs and all are fake, much of them originating from the Marino Gang. The giveaway on those is the Magic Johnson signature which the M-a are nor formed correctly, and on some I have seen the signatures are all the same size.

A 1992 Dream Team ball is probably one of the few items for which there are 1000 fakes (or more) to every real one.
