As above, neither am I an expert....
That's a worrisome ball.
I saw the ball, started to post, then didn't. Then I dug out a box that has HOF signed postcards in it... The Aaron signature is not consistent. I too don't like that Mantle signature. The Chi-Cubs 1970... how'd that get on there??? That's a red flag.
I think a bigger flag is the pen. That looks like a fairly modern pen... not a navy blue ballpoint pen from 50 years ago.
2 All Star games in 1959, the first one was in Pittsburg, where that hotel was. His grandfather owned the hotel. I'm 60-something, my Grandfather owned stuff, he passed away 41 years ago... I'm just guessing that its unlikely that a "young guy" would have a grandfather who owned a hotel in 1959. Wiki that.... Sheraton bought that hotel in 1956, sold in in 1968.
I'd think that some of the big mean thug types here on the board (I'm a wimp) should accompany you when you find that "young man" to get your money back. That's the help you need with that ball.
