Thank you to everyone for confirming my suspicions. I got a lot of bargains in the early days if eBay including beautiful signed DiMaggio and Williams baseball, so this one doesn’t hurt too much.

did you have the Dimaggio and Williams looked at . A bargain shopper and E bay don't mix when it comes to Autographs if you already got beat for 150-250 for the easiest to spot Mantle fake. Dimaggio and Williams are a little tougher to spot IMHO and my bet without looking is that they are also FAKE.

B&J sold hundreds of these balls

I suspect your estimate is extremely low.

I paid $20 for the Mantle ball. I’d be more upset if I was out $250. I was 16 when I purchased the Mantle and my eye wasn’t too discerning back then. I’ve gotten pretty good at spotting fakes, but Mantle is one I’ve has trouble with. Here are the DiMaggio and Williams balls that I purchased around the same time period. I’m fairly confident that both are authentic, but I’d certainly like to hear from others who may be more familiar with their signatures.

I like both the Dimaggio and the Williams!!!!

Nice job only eating a $20 for the Mantle ball. Excellent ball for the dog.
