The real deal. what do u think?

The seller says "not stamped, the real deal"

IMO, they look like machined sigs. the spacing and overall neatness. For my own sanity, opinions?

Isn't the signature starting in the laces (4th photo down on the left column) usually a dead giveaway on these things? At least he did take lots of photos.

Lance,
I've always thought that it's a strong indicator that you need to look carefully, because it probably is a facsimile souvenir ball, FWIW...

I have said this a few times before but the EASIEST way to tell a facsimile from a true signed ball is to look at the ball itself, if you can see both sweet spots (as you can in this auction) and neither has a ball manufacturer than it is a stadium ball. Any ball maker put their stamps on their wares to advertise their product.

Formula is

No manufacturer stamps + autographs = facsimile stadium ball.

Aside from that it is also easy to tell in other ways but that is the BEST way to tell for sure.
