Things I don't like about the ball - The ball is too white compared to the area between the stitches...there is white (polish?, paint?) on some of the red stitches...and it appears the J in joe was started in ink and then written over with blue marker. Just a weird looking ball.

Dan,
You're correct. This ball does look like it's had quite a bit of work done. The signature is fine, however. Keep in mind that the description you have quoted is not the writing of JSA, but rather the auction house. It's a safe bet that the word "removals" appears on JSA's review notes for this item, and that the seller/auction house was made aware of this fact. It's also of interest to note that it appears that the resulting signature appears to be Cronin's second attempt at signing the ball. You can see a faint "J" in a different pen underneath the bolder "J". [Dan: Sorry, I didn't see that you had already mentioned this. It's just the result of a faulty pen, however--nothing overly unusual about that aspect.] Last edited by BillyCoxDodgers3B; 06-24-2009 at 11:12 AM.

I won't comment on the signature because I don't diddly about that kind of stuff, but the ball looks to have been altered in some way and this is not mentioned in the auction writeup. Can we be certain this was a single signed ball and that other signatures weren't removed?

It looks pretty obvious from the scan.
