Hi Nathan,
I am 98% confident that Bunning is 100% legit.
Your ball's Bunning sig on the sweet spot compares favorably with two Bunning exemplars that I have from close to his rookie season. Slant, formation of all letters, EXCEPT the capital "B" on mine which appears to be much more "rounded" and a bit more upright. Additionally, Bunning added a "flourish" to the end of his "g" in Bunning, but I suspect that he would not necessarily do this when signing a ball. My team sheet from the same era exhibits this as well, FWIW.
I suspect that this difference is accounted for by mine being a couple of years earlier in his career.
Anyway, I'm sure others will chime in, but I would feel confident with your purchase....
