Came across this at an auction and it went cheap enough that I grabbed it w/o any certification...can read a few of the sigs, but I am far from a late 60's Dodgers expert, so I am posting here for assistance in filling in the blanks with the names...any opinions on authenticity are also welcome

Baseball Reference makes me think this is the 1967 Dodgers (http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/LAD/1967.shtml)

Sweet Spot

Walter Alston?

Len Gabrielson was traded to the Dodgers May 10, 1967 and Bob Lee was traded from the Dodgers May 31, 1967, so this ball is probably from May 1967. I believe Lou Johnson is between Don Sutton and Bob Lee, and Ron Hunt, Gene Michael, and Alan Foster are below Bob Singer.

Could the first one be Jim Brewer rather than John Roseboro? It's at an angle in the photo.

I believe that's coach Danny Ozark above Dick Schofield. Those last two above Claude Osteen have me stumped.

I believe Phil Regan is the bottom signature on panel #3

I think the one directly above Osteen is Bruce Brubaker. Above that might be Preston Gomez, but hard to tell from the angle. Can you post a better shot of those top two?

You guys are great!! I'll try to get some different angles taken this week...thank you so much for the insight already given!!!!!

Any guesses on value?

Hard to tell from the photo, but the last one on panel 2 could be Wes Parker.

I think we may have Red Patterson directly above Claude Osteen. The one at very top of that panel is just too faint for my eyes.

is that a mini ball?

I think you're right on the Preston Gomez.

LOL no, but I agree for some reason it looks tiny as hell in the photos for some reason

If you would take some better pictures of some of the lower signatures, we might be able to tell better.

One you are missing is Lou Johnson i believe, but it is so hard to tell from the photos and angle.

Lou Johnson is between Don Sutton and Bob Lee on Panel #2.

I also thought it might be Wes Parker initially, but it looks like the first name is Alan. Edited: After looking at Wes Parker's signature, it is difficult to tell which one it is at that angle.
