I think to be able to try and see any part of the signature the ball has to be in hand. Can't really see anything to help you from those pictures

Thanks for the response. You're probably right.

Try adjusting the color contrast with your computer. Sometimes you can see "invisible" signatures a bit better if you play around with it a bit.

I dug deeper. Maybe someone can identify anything at all????? haha

I know I am reaching, but could the last 2 photos be a faded cobb?

One is without my cobb signature and one is if I traced over certain things.

ANY help would be appreciated.

What I see is wishful thinking and confirmation bias.

In all seriousness, even if you could prove there is a Cobb signature that is 99.5% obliterated, who would want it?

It takes more than convincing yourself. One also has to convince the buyer.

I truthfully don't care who signed it and 10000% agree with you and think the value at this point lies in the fact that it is a 17-18 NL ball, however if it is something that can help with the story and history, I think it's worth the effort. I took some black light photos and will upload soon.

Thanks for the responses. I will post shortly.
