It doesn't look touched up to me. I'm guessing that PSA is being overly cautious due to the value of this ball.

and that could be he is going to send to JSA after the holidays to get their thoughts as well.

Jeremy,
Have you ever seen the single signed balls that PSA authenticates for the big auction houses???
They are not shy about authenticating single signed "high value" baseballs.
And I agree that ball does not look touched up but don't they authenticate touched up balls?

Thats kind of what I thought Richard..Seems PSA has never been worried about authenticating big item stuff almost like they love the attention that it was them deemed item authentic! JMO on it all

Richard- Don't get me wrong. I'm not a PSA/JSA defender. Maybe I'm just gullible, but the story behind the ball sounds legit to me. If the owner of the 3 Finger ball wanted to sell the ball, I wouldn't be surprised to see it in a major auction w/both a PSA & a JSA letter.

Jeremy heres the thing The guy that has the ball is a friend of mine and I dont believe he had selling the ball as an intent, a few of us that know him sort of coaxed him into getting it authenticated and appraised he has had it either in its origional box or displayed in a UV cube off and on over the years. Was a prized possesion of his dads and has always been glad to still have it.
