I dont know if it is good or bad to hard to see. If they said no I guess I would go along with that thought. I would not buy something I can not see

Agree. There's nothing there to buy. Tons of better examples out there.

You guys make it sound like the auto is completely faded, which it is not. Do you really expect a team signed baseball being 70 years old to be in mint condition.

the enlarged image distorts the signature somewhat and makes it look lighter than it is... (it definitely looks bolder on my IPhone)... Also came across this signature on a 1939 ball that carries a jsa cert... Looks very very similar to me... [IMG]

My 2 cents: it definitely has strong characteristics of an early Williams. I would guess either it's real or the entire ball is bad, but not clubhouse. It looks too much like an authentic early Williams to be a clubhouse. If it's the darkest, clearest signature on the ball, I would have doubts.

Afterthought: guys like Williams, Mays, Mantles, DiMaggio signed so much stuff after their playing days that I think it's especially cool to go after their earliest signatures. Sometimes you have to settle on a less-desirable example to start, especially on signed baseballs. If it's aesthetically pleasing to you, I don't see any reason not to enjoy it. If it's not quite right for your collection, it can be a good placeholder for months or years.

No one is saying it has to be mint. I said I could hardly read it. If there is a better picture that shows the signature then I would say buy it. I am only saying from what I can see I would pass.
Scott is correct if you like it buy it.

My faded 1940 Williams-signed Burke photo is one of my favorite pieces, purchased after Shelly consultation from an antique store
