Jackie Robinson Signature

[EYECOLLECTVINTAGE]

As a Robinson guy I am usually able to tell right away if one is good or bad. However in this case I am a bit stumped.

The Jackie looks dead on, however the R in Robinson is not his trademarked R.

I'm not as well versed on the Campy signature, however compared to another I have, it looks similar.

Clubhouse or authentic.

What is the verdict?

My gut is leaning 60/40 Authentic on the Robbie.

I got rid of my brown clubhouse ball a few years back and never should have. He did an amazing job on Jackie. What gave it away? The R?

Robinson, Campanella and Erskin on side panel in that order. Dead giveaway.

Yeah always check the order on the balls first for signs of "The Brow"'s handywork. That way you can tick it off the list more readily. If the order isn't a giveaway then you start looking at the signature. And yes, I would say that the "R" has to be the biggest giveaway here. Maybe the slant also but that is a bit tougher to tell with the way the ball was photographed.
