Hi, I have a baseball that has some autographs on it but I am not sure that they were real. I am gonna get some laughs for this one, but seriously my grandma found it and gave it to me a few years back. I myself doubt that it is real because I am not one to run into such luck. Anyways, the ball is a Wilson made of horsehide, it says A 1054 cushioned cork center, and also reads regulation league. As best as I can tell the readable autographs on it are as follows: Felipe Alou, Norm Cash, Ernie Banks, Ray Sadecki, and Orlando Espada. There are a few others, but I am unable to make them out. Does anyone know if a ball of this kind was made as a replica back in the day, or if it sounds like an authentic. The autographs are far from mint for the most part, but I wonder if this is worth anything.
