1941 Yankee Baseball---Let's have some FUN for a change!
An old (72, like me!) HS friend contacted me about a baseball he has & wanted my advice & opinion of it. I have already done some research, studied the pics he sent & sent him my opinion a couple days ago.
I thought it would be fun to see what you folks had to say, in a similar vein to David's 1927 Yankee ball thread. I am by no means an auto expert, but I rendered my opinion based on my collecting experience of yrs in the hobby & my research of this particular ball. Am curious to see if MY results compare to what you guys see or if I gave bad advice I can contact my friend & change it! Here's what I'd like to know: 1-On a scale 1-10, how would you rate the sigs? 2-What else do you see significant about this ball? 3- Any comments at all are welcome & appreciated Here are 3 pics & the list of names his Dad said were on the ball (One panel is not pictured--The Henrich-Dickey panel.)

Joe d is not authentic 1941 and it was the 41st season in baseball? |

Sigs range from 2 - 7 in strength (with most around "3" - "4").
Joe D. is secretarial Possibly traced over in spots? A slightly "off-color" ink looks to be added in certain (otherwise light) areas. But would need to see the ball in person, to verify. |

2 - The number of signatures I could discern without looking at the list.

I agree with what's been said so far. The signatures are quite weak--an arbitrary and subjective numerical scale doesn't mean too much--what's important is that most of the signatures are or are nearly illegible.
On the plus side it's an OAL ball, in excellent condition, and quite white for it's age. |

Thanks alot so far guys. I had told Mike (my friend) I rated the ball an overall 4-5 of 10 due to the fading sigs. I told him the Joe D was "clubhouse" and I think the Gomez is also.
Anyone agree or disagree on Gomez? --or any others as being "clubhouse"? (I know most are very hard to see!)

I'd give the sigs a 2 - 3 at best.
To me, 4 or 5 might have some moderate skipping or sun fading, but would be complete and legible. Just my 2 cents.
