I don't like it, besides the weird placement for a SS ball. Another thing, it would be VERY unusual for someone in the 50's to save a ball in the original box.

Joe, what do you think before anyone else gives there opinion I know your smart and have stated your opin on many items.
Both you and your brother seem to better than most.

Is it possible to get a better close up of the signature? Would like to see if there is a hesitation in the a and if the speed is slow at the end of last name. I don't think the saving the box part is too weird I have bought a couple good signed balls still in their original box.

I dont think have seen a single signed Robinson on the sweet spot.Most of them have been on the side panel. Maybe more comfortable for him to sign that way.
For keeping the box why not? It would be strange but this is a strange hobbie.

Agreed, I forgot to weigh in on the side panel part. Every single signed Jackie that I have looked at buying in the last few years has been on the side panel, none on sweet spot, and I felt most if not all were authentic or I wouldn't have bothered looking, there were at least three that stick in my mind. In fact, if you look at dodger team signed balls Jackie usually signed in the smaller or more cramped spaces, almost never sweet spot.
