Need the experts opinions on Ruth

[ramram]

Thanks guys for your input. Probably one of those Marino Special Editions I’m suspecting, lol. To me it looks like the discoloration is added as well.

Listen to what people are telling you. It is not a "Marino Special Edition."
The question is whether it is a printed reproduction of a genuinely signed Ruth ball.

To me it appears to be one of those printed balls the stitching appears to be new. The printing on the baseball seems too good and dark. Way too many of these around now to judge without holding it in your hand.

Definitely agree. Although the signature is spot on, the laces are just so damn fresh and clean and new looking..... I know this sounds weird, but did you smell the ball? Does it smell new? No smell? Moldy? Believe it or not this may help.

If you smell what The Rock is cooking. Then you might smell if it is real or not

Not in any way a Marino. Just curious why would you say that?

Only because I just watched the recently posted video about him.

If it’s live ink it’s good, if not than it’s a reproduction. Can’t tell that from an image.

Would agree. The signature is spot on though. Just can't tell if it's real ink or a reproduction.
