Authenticity question
About 20 years ago, Home Shopping Network had their distribution warehouse here. Employees were allowed to buy things at a discount and often would resell them to a shop I operated with my partner. They had lots of Mantles, Fielder (who was hot at the time), Jackson plaques, etc. They also had a living (at the time) 500 HR ball. I am in the process of liquidating my partner's collection for his family. As much as anything, I am sure where this came from and what it's backstory is, but I wanted to know if it looks ok to people who have more expertise in this...Don't want to sell something for a reasonable amount of money there are any questions about.
This looks pretty much like a ball that is being offered by a dealer on the internet.

They look like they were all signed by the same person...and I'm not an expert, just making an observation.

edited to add: only added my comment because the 'Williams' has an odd 'T' that would have kept me away from this item.

FWIW, I am sure that it came from The Scoreboard who was working with HSN at the time. While there are a lot of problems with the SB, I am not sure fraudulent autos were among them.

There are an awful lot of fraudulently reproduced Scoreboard COA's out there that Scoreboard had nothing to do with.

In recent years, I watched the late night HSN sports autographs show starring Kenny Goldin, former President of SB. The autographs were all way overpriced but appeared genuine. So I have no doubt the HSN could be a source for genuine autographs.
