Opinions on Koufax Ball

Six say no and two say yes. Now you think it is real. What does it take to make you think it is not.

Here's the deal, and I would tell this to anyone. If you like it and you're convinced it's real, go for it. Nobody can tell you 100 percent that anything is real or bogus unless they saw it signed. However, there's a very high probability that it's not real. If you aren't planning on reselling it and you can look at it in your collection and be happy with it, the more power to you. Good luck to you.

Mike, I think he said he owned it.If not I sure would look to buy another Koufax that has no problems.

With all due respect to HOFAUTOS, but what about the signature looks consistent? It looks way to loopy to me and everybody seems to be in agreement about the S looking off. Not only off but it doesn't even look close to the actual formation of an authentic Koufax.

You're right, I didn't see that...and yes I agree about looking for a new one.

It never even accrued to me that it was fake, I've had it for 20+ years. But I was thinking of selling it along with a Feller, Gibson, B. Robinson, and Bunning. The Koufax is the only one I didn't see signed so I figured I'd ask before I try and sell.

You all know better then I do. But when I look at other examples I have a hard time seeing consistencies. Either way it's not the end of the world.
