A comparison of the two styles probably isn't the best way to determine authenticity.
The Ball was signed in 2016 I have a good number of other Trout examples on Flats,Hats and a Bat, as well as Cards. What I like least on the OP ball is the scribble that is supposed to be his uniform number. My examples run from pre rookie to privite signing done in December 2020.
As I previously stated I am not an autograph expert. And I definitely agree that Trout's signature is so simple that it makes it very difficult to buy an example without the right authentication. But the fact that it looks like whoever signed the op ball didn't know it was supposed to be a 27. No skin in this just trying to help.
