Moving forward, I wouldn't recommend considering buying anything, especially something autograph-related, without at least seeing pictures of the items. Particularly, an area where you aren't very knowledgeable.
Am I correctly presuming you are possibly buying the balls from a family member from someone involved with the Brooklyn Dodgers? If so, its also possible, that the stories vary over time due to varied memories of events which happened decades ago. Remember, you are likely dealing with 2nd and 3rd hand stories on the origins of the ball. The authentication will be pricey for someone. The high majority of authenticated Brooklyn balls I've seen online, have some level clubhouse signatures. I'd consider saving images of authenticated Brooklyn balls. That will help with your future buying decisions. I don't know if you're a Brooklyn fan, or if you're only wanting to reap the benefits of an opportunity to buy fresh items. Good luck to you. And hopefully, both you and the family acquaintance are both happy, if you complete a transaction. Witster Last edited by witster; 05-24-2017 at 11:12 AM. Reason: Added text

I'm not sure why many on this site, where I came as an admitted novice in this area, looking for help, have assumed I'm a sucker.
Not only do the members on this site err on the side of caution, they are always skeptical of someone new coming in (in general) and asking too many questions. The members here are not only a tight-knit community, they can also smell something fishy from a mile away. Thus, many of them can be a little brash at first. With that being said, the knowledge on this site is unsurpassed...and free. The best word of advice is to come in....introduce yourself....and have a little mouth and big ears for the first couple of months.

Not an expert by any means but I know that a lot of Dodger team balls from that era were signed by the bat boy. In my research it shows that a give away is the almost always Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella and Carl Erskine are stacked in that order.
I won't opine on the authenticity of most but I do know Carl Erskine's and unfortunately that is not his in my opinion. No help or opinion on the Yankees ball. Sorry. Drew
