Default Help with Williams Auto

Hi guys, any help or opinion you can offer on this one would be greatly appreciated... there are several on the bay that look similar but with the mass of fake williams on the market I can't help but be cautious...

I appreciate you insight in advance.

Best Regards,
david

Looks like the Sport magazine cover featuring Ted and Joe Cronin's son. I think that Ted's son had a bunch of repros made for him to sign. I have seen quite a few around but usually with Ted's company COA.

It looks legit to me...
Here a few autos you can compare it to...

The first pic is questionable, but I am leaning towards fake.

The final three pics are pics of FAKE Ted Williams autos!

All of the other pictures are legit autos. (Obviously)!

Grand Slam?

Wasn't his company "Green Diamond"?

The spikes are Marino's the 536 picture is Marino's and the picture two below the 536 is also Marino's. I don't like the Williams. The ball is bad as well.
Grand Slam was the company before he started Green Diamond. No Hologram on Grand Slam lot of Fakes. Not saying that Green Diamond was perfect as most of you know.

I don't like the first Ted Williams picture.
I won't put mine up this time for comparison .

I thought the ball was fake, but I didn't know for sure. Thanks.
