Thanks everyone,

Jeff, thank you - I removed most of the scans of the balls - no need in a bunch of junk.

Here is a sampling of some Fulton High School football programs (over 40!) from the 1950s. I do not believe they have a lot of value but I love the Graphics....

Nice haul...always worth scouring the high school programs for famous names.

[Eric1977]

I see Lindy McDaniel, Ray Sadecki, Ernie Broglio, Maury Wills, Doug Camilli, Jim Gilliam, Walter Alston, Sandy Koufax x2, Joe Moeller Wally Moon, Norm Sherry, Tommy Davis a few I can't tell.

Ok, surely these are legit signatures...

I know nothing about this ball - Looks like its fairly recent to me like 1990s?

Are these high school kids or is there something more to this ball?

Thanks again everyone,

It's a college baseball...not sure which team, but teams like Chattanooga, The Citadel and Samford are in the Southern Conference.

That one is definitely legit. College ball probably, I see Mark Teixeira on there.

Texeira played at Georgia Tech...not in the Southern Conference, but no doubt GT had Southern Conference teams on their non-con schedule.

I could be wrong but it looks like Mark Teixeira on the top of that side panel on the last baseball.

Maybe a college ball? Teixeira wore number 23 on the Rangers. It might even be a Rangers ball.

I thought this was a neat little survivor: 1934 University of Chattanooga Football Schedule...

Here some of the basketball & football:

The last ball is definitely Georgia Tech, probably late 1990s or early 2000s. Teixeira was there until being drafted in 2001 I think. I see Danny Hall on the sweet spot. He's been the coach at Tech since the mid 1990s.

Also a Don Drysdale next to the Joey Bishop photo.

Just a note about the stamped, facsimile balls: I wouldn't call them junk. They're considered collectible, even if their value is minuscule compared to their "real" counterparts. I've got a collection of about 20 Cleveland Indians team balls dating to 1948 and have dealt with other collectors who specialize in different teams. So even though you won't get rich flipping them, there is a market.
