Roger Maris?
 

I saw this on ebay at a very low price point. I am not familiar with Maris' signature. I doubt its real.

Maris
 

I am by no means an expert. I think its good actually, albeit very light

Looks like a solid early Maris sign

Supposedly signed in 1978.

I don't like it

Not a Maris expert, but unless the Ghost of Maris signed it, pretty sure that's not authentic. Looking beyond the signature, which of these do you think looks like the ball itself...?

Compared to the photos from the eBay listing:

Once I hear 1978, I got a bit leery. It really, IMUO, does look solid in terms of the old style, But, we have seen maris' later in life sigs, and it doesn't match well w that era

Is it on a reproduction 78 ball?

I don't know Maris well enough to opine on this one, but any time I see a Mantle, Maris, etc. on one of these WS balls is sets off my radar. They are a forger favorite because they have the appearance of being from the signer's lifetime.

Not giving an opinion as to real or not, BUT, that is not even similar to his early autograph. The "M" style is correct for a later signature.

yikes. I messed up..shoot me. I wouldn't buy it anyways. the height of the second part of the M doesn't look right, w ones Ive seen
