To me, collecting home-made baseballs has that same "leap of faith" element that you have with a lot of autographed items. I have a hard time taking that leap when there are other things to collect that don't require it, but I completely understand, and I know that Mark is your man when it comes to this sort of item. I also like the idea of asking Mears to look at it, although I wonder if a letter from a well-respected forum member might be just as good, or maybe even better.
I recently received a photograph from Legendary for which I later located a letter of opinion from David (Cycleback). I already knew it was real, but as a collector on this forum, such a letter would be more important to me than a PSA/DNA slab.
