I leave it to the bidders to decide...
Can't really speak as to other teams, but the Brooklyn Dodgers had a clubhouse attendant named Charlie The Brow DiGiovanna who often signed for the players, sometimes just a few signatures, sometimes the whole ball. He was so good, some of the players couldn't tell if they had signed or he had. But there are subtle differences. The one you have on ebay is 100% signed by him. It is a little unusual since he usually had more signatures on the ball, and each signature was a little smaller than yours, but they are definitely his signatures IMO. These balls can still go for $100-200, so you never know.

Here's a link to an article about him: https://www.psacard.com/articles/art...row-digiovanna
