You know I thought about this overnight. If it was me, regardless of net54 opinions, I would send it to a TPA. The signatures are so faint that its hard to make things out clearly. Members helped identify multiple autos, so pay the fee for 3-5 to be authenticated. If the Gehrig turns out to be clubhouse, that's what you were expecting because of net54 opinions. But you could also be nicely surprised. I think the ball is a cool find regardless of authenticity of the Gehrig. And the chew marks don't really bother me either. The original owner obviously valued the ball enough to not throw it away.
