Hey guys, a friend of my dad has this ball and wanted to know if anyone thinks it's real before he pays PSA/DNA for their opinion. Almost looks too good to be true but thought I would get some opinions here for him.
Any and all info is greatly appreciated as always.
Thanks,
Tony

I see some writing toward the top of the ball is that the brand or is that another signature

I do not know and I don't know if I can find out. I believe it is on a Harridge ball.

Tony, I don’t know if this helps, but this is from page of autographs that I purchased from Jim Stinson in 2016.

Man, it's close, I just don't know one way or the other. Anyone else?

It is a tough call. Just cause a sweet spot single signed Bender would be rare, I am leaning against. Here is mine that Stinson said was good

Looks slowly written to me, it could be a CC.

I'm no Expert, but after Richard chimed in here I go
The slant on the ball looks different than the GPS and card

That can’t be a CC ball. No way theirs are that good. Can you ask your friend on the background of the ball? Where he got it? How along ago? Etc

Every once in a while Mr. M can surprise you :).

Knowing what else is on the ball, i.e., the signature above it, would provide additional context and likely be helpful.

Well, bad news (for me). The Bender auto was shot down at the National today by JSA and Beckett. Kinda had a feeling but didn't want to post any more until we got confirmation. Disappointed as I had a deal brokered to get it from the owner to a collector who really wanted it. Really wanted it to be real for both of them. Oh well, what can you do?
