Wanted to get your opinion on this Ted auto. The d and the a are closed but its pretty faint so wanted to check. Let me know what you guys think- many thanks!

The Doerr on it looks off to me - but he wasn't super consistent and im most definitely not an expert. Anyway any help on these would be most appreciated:

You should probably post this in the autograph section. You'll get numerous responses.

I don't like the Williams - but I'm sure others will chime in

No good IMO...the other sigs look suspicious as well. I wouldn't feel comfortable purchasing

Ah sorry i guess i posted in the wrong forum - that explains the late reply since i bought it. I got a guaranteed return if it doesnt pass muster so its pretty low risk which is nice. The price was great - $350 for a ball signed by Jimmie Foxx, Williams, Doerr etc. but that was also a red flag which i summarily ignored. I did speak to the woman - she owns a gallery and she got this in some kind of bulk sale but she doesnt do sports. Anyway, she was kind and had no problem with returns so i figured it was worth a go at that price. Im bringing it to the White Plains show on Friday (i get the ball tmrw) so ill post back here what they say. Upon looking at the sigs more closely - some of the things that caused me to question the sigs were actually spots where the lines grew fainter. The Doerr doesn't look as off as I thought - same w the Ted. Anyway, I guess we'll see - thanks so much for looking.

Any additional thoughts are GREATLY welcomed. Thanks!
I like nothing about this ball. I have a feeling you'll get a similar response from JSA or PSA in white plains this weekend. You'll also have to pay their fee regardless of if it "passes" or fails, even IF it passed I still have no confidence the auto is legitimate.
That said I'd save your time and money and just return the ball, there are far nicer examples of all those players available.
