It's just easier for me to help when the images are presented more consicely. Speaking just for myself though, so take it as merely a suggestion.
FWIW, I don't think there's anything in these pics that would be highly forged items, and most everything (aside from the ball which may or may not have been rubber-stamped) looks legit, so it's probably safe to say the entire lot is good. The one Expos ball may just be the ink bleeding, since it's not an official ball, and that might be what is giving it the appearance of a stamped ball. Hard to tell on my phone sometimes when the signatures aren't very bold.
BTW, the guy you have identified as Chris Nabholz on "Ball 17 Montreal Expos Souvenir Baseball 91" is actually Junior Noboa.

I will change the name to Naboa. Your knowledge of 80's "jobbers" is pretty damn impressive. Maybe what I will do is start a new thread with the last couple balls and then just pics of any ball/panel where a signature has yet to be identified. As far as the possible stamped ball, I came across another one of these souvenir balls and the sigs are signed the same way but not all in the same spots so now that makes me question if they are both legit even more.
