Some other very easy giveaways that you're dealing with this type of reproduction/forgery:

--Look how flatly the signatures lay on the ball. Even when the ink is supposedly bold, there's an overall washed-out appearance. Absolutely zero oxidation of the ink which would have been haphazardly formed as part of the natural aging process. Outside of an odd signature placement switch, these balls are all so comedically uniform in their appearance.

--The white dimples of the leather pop out from under the signature. Funny how boldly they stand out, and how you don't see this with authentic examples. The sheer uniformity of the dots proves that all of the ink was applied with the same even pressure. All the pretty little dots. Guess we can call these "Dot Balls".
