1927 Yankees team ball forgery

[yanks12025]

I don't think those two balls look alike(Notice the B). You have to remember the autos that guy used for his reprint balls came from real ones. And I'm pretty sure David bought his ball before the guy started making those reprints you showed.

Those autos are exact. The bad news would be that this is a repro. The good news would be that the artist used David's ball as his exemplar. I sure hope it's the latter, for David's sake.

Look at the loop in the B. The reprint one is alittle thinner, while David's is bigger.

same auto... Not sure if it matters but the stitching is going in opposite directions... def diff ball..so hopefully David's was used to make the reproductions.

Same exact auto... note the placement of the quotes. Brock... the smaller picture may just distort it a little.

Also hoping that David's was the exemplar used to make the repros

not the same, look at the line from the B to the E. one goes straight the other to the top of the E. I have to disagree

Looks like the same auto to me also. Look at that small little extra line hanging down on the lower bottom of the R.

[Frozen in Time]

Looks exactly the same to me. Perhaps if the smaller image was enlarged and the ball rotated to the same angle and size as the ball in the larger image the similarities would be more pronounced.

Looks like the same auto to me. The quotes are placed in the exact same place.
