A friend of a friend has this ball (Budig AL ball) of Joe D.
Hes looking at possibly getting rid of it.
I'd like to get your thoughts on it. I'm not great at Joe D's signature.
Thanks in advance.

Something seems sketchy about the starting loop in the M.

The forgers have never gotten that variation of Joe D's autograph right.

or the "Joe" that looks like Jae and a budig ball to boot. Put it all together and you have a forgery.:(

Thanks guys. I appreciate the help.
My gut feeling was NG based on a few factors, but wanted to get some other eyes on it that are better at Joe D than I am.

Mantle did sign a few Budig balls. Pretty rare. Joe D died when the Budig balls ended so there are a lot of genuine examples.

Whoops. Responded to the wrong comment too late.
