Do you think this ball is legit?

I think my friend and I were optimistic b/c there is a section or two of the ball where the "autographs" are a bit more faded. But thanks for your help. Any other info would be greatly appreciated so I can tell him some specifics the next time I see him

Another tell-tale sign is that none of the autographs overlap. They're all perfectly placed so that they have their own space. That won't happen when you're passing a ball around to 20 plus players.

that is a typical stamp ball the way the signatures face one way and then the other way

Look at the attached pic. In the red oval, notice the line where the ink in the signature isn't? That's from a flaw with the stamp - a person writing their name would not have ink suddenly stop flowing from the pen along that same line...

You guys are awesome, thanks so much for the help. At least I can tell him all of this so he (and I) know what to look for in the future. Thanks!

Lots of stamped balls were sold decades ago at ballparks across the country. This is stamped as everybody else has opioned

All that said this facsimile baseball is still worth $30-40
