Sandy Koufax auto ball
 

All of my balls I am certain are authentic because I buy from private signings. I bought this Koufax from a dealer/collector store with COA but don't fully trust it. I don't know if I should send it to PSA or save my money. Does anyone have experience with Koufax's signature?

Almost looks drawn...

It also looks like he drew it while hanging from a ceiling upside down.

everytime I upload, it's upside down. Now the quality is bad. I will upload a new photo today.

But opinions so far is that it's no good?

Looks like someone trying to copy a rushed in person autograph

Why did you buy it from that dealer if you didn't fully trust it? Was it a very good price? If it was dirt cheap, then that's another reason to raise your eyebrow.

The only time I would buy a "rushed" Koufax like that is if I saw that it was signed in person. I know there have been numerous posts on this site about Spring Training rushed signed balls by Koufax, but unless I was there to see it, I wouldn't buy them. There are so many beautifully signed Koufax balls out there that you can buy for anywhere from $200-$300 easily.

Could it just be that Sandy Koufax is older and that his signature just got shaky.

It doesn't look like the one I got at Spring Training this year. So if they say it was in person, I wouldn't buy that particular one, even if good. But that's just me.

If you look at 2015 card company certified autographed cards his autograph isn't shaky. Just te in person rushed ones

The "rushed" balls on eBay are the reason I raised my eyebrow last week. I saw a bunch posted with the same photo of Koufax signing and them holding a blank ball by him. How is that proof? Anyway, I saw that mine had the more rushed "S" but looked like "he/they" really pressed down and made it slowly.

I bought it from this dealer because it came with a COA. I always get them that say in person authentic in store signing. I was going through my certs the other day and realized theirs said it was believed to be authentic by personal inspection. It was so long ago that I missed it.

The shop will refund my purchase so its all good. I am glad I caught it and I am thankful for all of the help here. Thank you!
