Stamped ball?

Saw this on the craigslist ad and feel that it is a stamp ball. Opinions out there? Thank you

Stamped
Appears stamped to me from the pictures, but the pictures aren’t that clear. I don’t see any overlaps whatsoever and usually your going to have that on a multi-autographed ball.

I would guess it's a stamped ball.

Just heard back from the seller. He was told by a couple of people it was authentic and then it didn't look right he said in a couple others told him it was stamped. He says he's going to take it down. I have to believe himh

In my experience there is always at least one signature that overlaps or touches another signature on a team ball that's actually been signed. The stamped balls are all pre-planned, so there aren't usually two autographs that touch or overlap in any way.
This ball looks like all of the signatures have been carefully mapped out. I'd assume it was stamped. |
I won't offer an opinion on whether or not it is in fact stamped, but I will note that the uniformity of the arrangement of the signatures may be evidence that it is. I seem to recall seeing the forms that players signed, with signature lines laid out uniformly at various angles on the page, that some of the facsimile ball makers used. Similar to the comment above about no overlap, the arrangement may indicate it's stamped.

stamped ball
If there there autographs on all panels and no manufacturer's name, it is stamped.

Aren't the signature letters going into the threads a giveaway on these?
