So maybe those two were ghost signed by someone then?
Still not real, and not likely knowing a little about Williams signing at the park back then (Donation to the Jimmy fund, or no signature. And less than whatever he asked got a rubber stamp!)

Wouldn't that scenario make the description accurate?

And if that's accurate what does it say about the other signatures?

PS - That ball would be something I'd call a good candidate for one of those cut signature cards- mostly wrecked as -is, but with a few good bits.

Steve - certainly a highly unlikely scenario but not impossible. But don't you think if that was the case the auction house(s) would have used that scenario to describe this ball??
