Looks like it was signed yesterday (probably signed last year?!)

I bought it from a coach in a corner and he assured me it's real.

What a coincidence that tinker evers and chance signed in that order a year and a half before the famous poem was published

It always surprises me how both fascinated and unaware people are when it comes to autographs. It seems people become caught up in this vortex of wanting to believe it is real and then convincing themselves that it is. You would think a paper like that would do a little research before running that type of story.

That ball is very likely to have been a CC special.
Ridiculous that the reporter did zero homework.

If he got it on CC then probably about $110 and he thought he got a steal too.

That is HORRIBLE. White Ball. Super sharp signatures, etc. GET AN IDEA that a BALL THat old w ORIGINAL signatures, to that era would NOT look like this.
