I read this from the beginning and emailed my friend Steve Z. on Sept. 27th that my initial instinct was that it was authentic.

I also wrote Steve, that the photo posted was not a good image to opine from because "speed" is crucial to opining Joe DiMaggio's autograph.

I would still like to have it in my hands or have a better photo to opine 100%.

I would have commented earlier but I had my reasons why I didn't and Steve Z. knows why and we will keep that between us two.

Below is a side-by-side of one of my DiMaggio autographed baseballs and the one posted here.

Mine is on the right.

As you can observe, my DiMaggio shows more speed, but the other photo, which I attempted to enhance, does not show the same speed, but that could be because of the photo.

I will also write, just to be clear, that I am not 100% that this DiMaggio is authentic.

The only way to be 100% would be to have it in my hands.

If Spence had it in their hands, they would have the advantage of a hands-on examination.

In my opinion, "no one is wrong here."

That photo posted by the OP is not strong enough to make a 100% yes or no decision, but my first instinct was authentic.

I agree, my first inkling is that it is authentic although the picture did not let me render an opinion, hence why I didn't chime in

When I was buying these (and I have 10), I'd take a chance on it up to 175 for the 300 ball until I had it in my fat hands... then if I didn't like it, I would send it back. If people are selling a 200-300 item and they can't give you a good pic, I would feed them fish heads.

You can have all the Net54 opinions you like, but when it comes time to sell the ball , the only opinions that add value are the big 3.

Sorry to say that is true. I would say that we do save people a lot of money by
telling them if it is not authentic. That will prevent them from sending it in.

Last but not least. I said I did not like the ball because of the J. Maybe if was a better picture I might have said yes. Either way it is nice to know that we can all agree not to agree with a smile
