I've only seen one in my life and it was on his 1927 Yankees paycheck. Some of those made to order team balls (and single-signed) are so well done that it's almost impossible to detect them from scans alone.
Although I've never seen one in person I'm guessing that under magnification there would be "stress marks" from pen to leather and a black light might reveal some "tells" too. Again all a guess. But indeed another reason to be careful.
