Thoughts on this Roberto Clemente signed baseball

Like I said, I may be way off. Just looks weird to me...maybe it's the photo on this one.

I don't think it looks stamped, it looks like there's different preassure and fading. But I'll ask the guy for a bigger photo, this one is pretty low res. I was really just sent the picture to verify the ball.

Here's a closeup, definitely a better look.

I'm definitely not an expert on Roberto Clemente signatures, but this does look real to me as it looks like other legitimate examples that I have seen.

It also does not look stamped, but instead applied with a ball point pen, FWIW.

I think what's really throwing me on this one is the ball itself. The color on that panel is kinda washed out much like you might see if it was roughed up/game used which kinda makes that auto pop which gave me the initial thought that it looked stamped...which it clearly isn't by the follow-up photo.

Could just be the lighting used to photograph the ball.

Looks legit to me.
