I picked up these 3 balls for $20.00 total from my local dealer. He gives me great deals baseballs from collections he buys.. They are of Gary Sheffield, Preacher Roe, and Brooks Robinson. The Sheffield auto looks like a very early signature. Do they look good to you guys, lemme know what you think.

    OK on the Brooks and Preacher. Don't know Sheffield's well enough to render an opinion, never got him IP.

    The Sheffield is not even close IMO. Robinson looks spot on though.

    Yeah thats what I thought aswell. Signature today looks way different then when he first got to the big leagues. Its a toss up on Shef from what I've seen!

    His early sig is way different than today's, but the Gary doesn't match his early sig. The "G" should resemble the number 6.

    I don't think that's Gary Sheffield, or supposed to be Gary Sheffield. If you look at what should be the "ff" in "Sheffield" one character goes down, while the next goes up. If it was Sheffield, they would either both go down, or both go up.

    Hope that makes sense...

    Brooks autos are so plentiful I don't know who would forge one

    Haven't seen that style of Sheffield before but it looks like a very very early example.

    Here's some comparisons Sheffield
