Mantle, Dimaggio, 1948 Indians...what do you think?

[KennyJ1970]

Kanddcollectibles, formerly gold-n-merchant2274 on ebay, has a few things listed that I think are fakes, but i wanted some opinions of people who are more knowledgeable than I am. The three things i see are a Mickey Mantle ball starting at 99.00, a Joe DiMaggio ball starting at 99.00, and a 1948 Indians ball starting at $1000.00. Mantle and DiMaggio do not look right to me. The D on DiMaggio seems glaringly bad. Mantle looks like someone was being very deliberate in making the letters. The 1948 ball...well, I compared a few signatures, Feller, Lemon, Doby, and Boudreau. I have never seen an "L" like the one on this ball from Boudreau, and the others have many issues, I think. I am not an expert, however, so i wanted to see what others thought.

If you provide links, I believe you would get more respones. Or photos of the items.

+1
though I think the Indians ball may just be fake or fake and done in the clubhouse.

Mantle & DiMaggio are not authentic.

This guy has sold fakes on here before, and has had stuff booted by ebay, yet he continues to do it.

Since the Mantle and DiMaggio experts have already spoken, I would like to add that I've been following Indians team balls from this era and I would say this is a good clubhouse example, as somebody already mentioned.
