Thoughts on these balls, real or bad - Mantle, Griffey Jr & Mays

[r2678]

I picked up a small memorabilia collection yesterday that included these three balls. I believe the Mantle is bad, the Griffey good and am hopeful on the Mays. The balls are either Bill White or Bobby Brown. Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

Mantle is bad.

Jr. Is probably ok, if so it is his mid 1990s style with the underlining y.

John,
Here is my IP Ken Griffey Jr. signed ball from 1990 to look at for comparison. The AL league president changed in 1994 from Bobby Brown.

Mantle is obviously fake. Griffey and Mays are authentic.

Unfortunately I am clueless at detecting forgeries so I have no idea if those are real. However, for comparison sake, I can tell you all three of these are authentic as I obtained them in person. The Griffey and Mantle are on Bobby Brown balls and the Mays is on a Bill White. I hope this helps.

Looks like we still don't have consensus on the Griffey. I can say for certain, the number of Jr. Autographs that have been fake in the last two years has been incredible. Before that, not so much. I really should study it more, now that more and more fakes of his are coming out. There are still some factors of this one I like. For example the air achieved on the speed strokes. Just to reiterate, the mantle is bad.

Have UDA Griffey and would lean more towards yes on that, have Say Hey Mays and would lean towards no, and every Mantle looks the same to me so I won't try to pretend to be an expert there

Mays and Mantle no, but if you could get me a more detailed pic of Griffey that would help.

I would like to thank everyone for their comments. Here's a larger scan of the Griffey:



In person it's very fine and light.

Once again, Griffey is authentic. I guarantee PSA will pass it.
