I agree. I assume this is supposed to be a later life signature on some kind of team ball? If this is supposed to be from the 50’s it really doesn’t look labored enough to be his signature at that point in his life. If it’s earlier, then that is pretty clean for something earlier. There are points in the sig that I think are ok, but others I don’t. I know that doesn’t help much, but I would be interested to see the rest of the ball.

Probably 90% of the team balls out there have a clubhouse Mack. I wouldn’t guess about yours.

I just did a quick search on eBay and here was the first one that popped up.

There are going to be clubhouse examples, sure.... but I think 90% is a considerable exaggeration.

I have dealt with a number of older team signed balls. I can almost guarantee that the manager on any team ball is going to be clubhouse - not always but a lot more often than not. I have seen it time and time again.
A few years ago I had a guy bring me 3 team signed balls that he got in person in 1947-48. Tigers, Indians and Athletics. I bought the balls. Then I took them to JSA and they told me everything was good... except the Mack. So I went back to the guy and asked him if he saw Mack sign the ball. He said “no, they told me I couldn’t approach the big guy myself so they told me they would get it done for me”. Someone else signed the ball and he had a clubhouse Mack. I think it happened a lot more than you think.

The last two Athletics team-signed balls REA has sold (Spring 2017 and the recently concluded auction on March 24th) both had Mack signatures that were not deemed clubhouse - with the most recent offering signed by Cornelius on the sweet spot.
Again, no one is arguing that clubhouse examples don't exist, but the 90% you stated is not realistic.
