Guess he lied.
The Eddie Collins part didn't really bother me if someone made it up but it was relative to that time period (kids lieing etc) however the fact that this now seems to be a doctored ball made to look old pisses me off.
The ball matched the period, but I did not realize how bold this writing was until I saw it in person. Looked like marker, but I am not a expert so wanted opinions before I contacted the seller.

Here is the ebay listing, with addition pics of the ball, in case it helps anyone provide additional or a differing opinion to Stephen.
