One thing that was conveniently omitted in the description of the 1969 Mets vintage ball is that the Nolan Ryan signature was added much later (post 1987). His 1969 era signature is considerably different, FWIW.
Take a look for yourself:
The 1st ball was signed by Nolan circa 1969; the 2nd ball is the vintage 1969 team ball sold in the auction referenced ^. A pretty obvious difference to anyone that knows Nolan's signature...
Gary Gentry also appears to be added later as his autograph crosses over Nolan's modern era signature.
