Advice--1934 Tour of Japan ball

[yanks12025]

I dont know anything about autographs really, but doesn't look good to me. Too clean

[JeremyW]

William Tell tells it all. Not looking good.

Agree with all of the above...

Don't waste more money with PSA. Cut your losses here. The ball is no good, and there's absolutely no way it's going to pass PSA or Spence.

I have yet to see a William Tell Authenticated item that's good. Sorry

Thank you all for the replies. Honestly, the ball is not that clean looking. The photos must have been taken with a flash. It's yellowish, similar to the one in David Atkatz's avatar. I just took some photos and will try to upload later.

It's irrelevant if the ball is clean or dirty, or authenticated by Frank Garo (William Tell) or Morales. We should never assume anything based on a COA (as Spence found out).

The autographs are what matters and they are horrific.

Perezfan is correct when he writes that he's never seen anything certed by William Tell that is authentic. Neither have I.

That ball probably originated from Coach's Corner. Frank Garo was their authenticator at one time. And Coach's Corner still auctions off between 6-12 "1934 Tour Of Japan" signed baseballs (I have yet to see one from them that I would consider authentic).

Sorry Jeff, but even in my limited auto experience, I don't like them either. Babe and Lou on the sweet spot? How convenient...

Good luck.
