Jackie Robinson Auto (JSA auth) & Joe DiMaggio Signed Ball

[estaples]

The Mantle ball is pictured next to the DiMaggio. The Mantle ball is most definitely authentic for certain, but also not really for sale, my parents got me that one when I was a kid, and actually gave it to me on my bday the 15th and Mantle unfortunately passed away the very next day, the 16th, if I remember right.

The Joe D I've never bothered to have authenticated, got it in the late 80's from a guy that was a major league scout and manager for the Brooklyn dodgers. I grew up near him, and he gave me several autos that he had when he was getting up later in his years, couple years before he past away. DiMaggio he said he got in person once a a show where they were both signing that day. No reason for me not to believe him, he had an amazing life, career, stories, and memorabilia, can't imagine he would lie to me, and no way he faked it himself. But again, that one has never been in front of an authentication either.

And the Robinson is authenticated by JSA.
