I saw this ball and other items in Iconic Memorabilia Auction all the pieces that I questioned where authenticated by Justin Priddy. This is why third party opinions drive me crazy. Would love to know what you think.

Open "D" and open "A" what a dead giveaway.

The T & the s are also very suspect

This ball is authentic. Don't let these clowns tell you otherwise. I am an expert in Ted Williams autographs and memorabilia. It's impossible to replicate that "T" and the D to W transition like that. This opened A nonsense is laughable. The guy can't sign his name exactly the same way every time. Regardless, Ted signed this ball. It's the Green Diamond photos you need to be wary of. John Henry Williams was a known forger of his father's signature and it's very difficult to pull it off on a ball as opposed to a flat photo.

If I was a crook I would offer you a great deal on 3 baseballs just like the pictured one

Sorry to dredge up this old thread, but I was wondering if anyone had any more info on the Green Diamond photos as mentioned above.

I've heard this rumor as well, but I have no idea if that's all it is or has anyone ever uncovered any actual evidence showing John Henry forged his father's signature?
