Opinions on this lot of baseballs

[bravos4evr]

I'm a braves collector and came upon this lot of mostly old braves "common" players from the 90's (along with Johnny Mize, Ray Knight, Lee Smith and Ozzie Smith) I was wondering not only if they are authentic, but also if anyone can tell me who all 12 players are????

First column is Jeff Francoeur #12 (with Mets)
Piazza
Lee Smith

I have no idea if any of them are legit.

Which ones do you not know?

I will do it by horizontal rows 1-3 and balls 1-4 per row:

Row 1 ball 1 I think is Jeff Francouer, ball 4 is Mize, 2 and 3 IDK

Row 2 ball 1 is Piazza you said then it goes Greg Olsen, Jeff Blauser Ozzie Smith

Row 3 ball 1 is Lee Smith, then I think Kris Benson, ball 3 unknown and ball 4 Ray Knight


as far as legitimacy, I find most of them too low in profit margin to make forging worth the effort, but you never know with people (and several look good to me like the Olsen, the Francouer and the Blauser, not familiar enough with the Ozzie, Knight or Piazza to guess tho)

The identified ones look fine, no idea about the two in Row 1 but I believe the IDK in Row 3 is another Jeff Francouer.

I think you are right, I forgot he came up wearing #7

welp, won the auction for $61.55 shipped so I reckon the price was good enough to take the risk. I'm pretty sure that at worse, the ex Braves autos are legit, and that's still a good price for those alone.

well, I have figured out that row one ball two is former Braves and A, Jay Howell, still have no idea who row one ball 3 is. Looks like it says Juan something.

Could row 1, ball 3 be Juan (Ivan/Pudge) Rodriguez? Appears similar to pic #3 in this item:
