Garage Sale Autographs: Good or Not?
 

I got a call from my mother-in-law last week while she was at a garage sale. She said that there was some sports stuff and wanted to know if I wanted anything. She said that there were lots of autographed baseballs. I'm not an autograph collector and I knew that they could certainly be fakes. However, she read a few names and said that they were $5 a ball. I said buy them all. I will need to get them authenticated, but I think they look good. They're all on league balls from the 90's.

The only one I can't identify is John? Also, the last ball (2 photos) appears to be a game ball from Willie Wilson becoming the first player to have 700 ab in a season.


I'd appreciate feedback as this isn't my area of expertise. Thanks! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b118500327.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b2cba270c6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ae2f0c5da0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a9c7c66183.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5f602a7328.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c596cd16b8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2fe5c59b16.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b6e3cb9cf0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...500726698e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...41bbc41f43.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...54d074c348.jpg

The balls all look absolutely legit to me, the Joe d I'm not sure of.

All the balls look legit. Last 1 is Johnny Damon. Nice come up.

Nice garage sale find! Take your Mother-in-Law to lunch!

Nice lot - good signatures.

Last ball is Johnny Damon

DiMaggio photo is bad. The balls look OK.

The balls all look good to me, though I don't recognize the auto in black sharpie.

Very nice pickup.

Dan Quisenberry?

You can replace that question mark with a period. Definitely Quisenberry.

Thank you everyone for the feedback. Good call on Johnny Damon!

I felt good about the baseballs, but wasn't sure about the photo. Your thoughts helped me affirm those thoughts and know how to proceed.

Whats on the ball that references 700 ABs and KC?

Is this anyway a Willie Wilson game used ball?

He had over 700ABs in 1980.

Yes, that is exactly what it is. Game 161.

That is really cool....what does it say on the ball? It is hard to read.

Took all the balls to my local show today and got them JSA certified. Everything went great! Thanks again to everyone that helped!
