1969 Mets signed ball?
 

Hello- Being a big Mets, I have been wanting to pick up a 1969 team signed ball for some time. I recently found & purchased one on Ebay and would love to get some opinions regarding the authenticity of the autographs. I'm fairly familiar with most of the signatures, but was curios to hear if any clubhouse sigs might have slipped past me here. The auction was Ebay #181160809315. I apologize in advance for not linking the auction, I'm not very tech savvy. Any & all thoughts would be very much appreciated. Jeremy

Jeremy,

I looked at your ball. Several of the key autographs look good to me and correct for the 1969 time period. Official ball, same pen used for all sigs, Gil Hodges on SS, this ball displays very nice.

For the price you paid, I think somebody needs to call the cops as a robbery has been committed. :) Nice job! :cool:

Scott- Thanks, I appreciate your opinion on the ball. To me, it looks like two different pens were used. I think what held down the price was the seller's auction title.

I think I've added a link to the auction.

I would really appreciate it if a couple of the board's experts could chime in on the signatures, especially the Hodges auto. I've heard of Hodges clubhouse sigs & stampings on a few of these "69 Mets balls. No disrespect meant to you Scott, I do respect your opinion also. I think I have a working link to the auction now. Thanks again.

I don't claim to be an expert, but I agree the signatures look good. The color is good and so is the ball. That was a great deal.

No need to involve the authorities here. Honestly, I appreciate the feedback & this one goes to the personal collection. Thanks again.

Here is mine for comparison.

Very nice. That looks to be in great shape. How many signatures are on your ball?

I think the ball has 27 or 28 sigs
