Agree that it definitely has value. Hard to determine a sales price with all the Clubhouse Sigs. But it is a vintage ball and has definite worth. I'd throw it on eBay (with good pics and full disclosure), start it at $19.99, and let the market dictate it's price.

Best of luck, and congrats on getting the refund!

If I'm a betting man I would bet 100% of the signatures are clubhouse.

I really find that hard to believe! How could all those separate signatures look so similar to their real counterparts? Did these teams go very out of their way to have people signing that could virtually duplicate the signatures of all these players? Maybe they did, I'm pretty naive to this. Interesting nonetheless. I leave it to the bidders to decide...

Can't really speak as to other teams, but the Brooklyn Dodgers had a clubhouse attendant named Charlie The Brow DiGiovanna who often signed for the players, sometimes just a few signatures, sometimes the whole ball. He was so good, some of the players couldn't tell if they had signed or he had. But there are subtle differences. The one you have on ebay is 100% signed by him. It is a little unusual since he usually had more signatures on the ball, and each signature was a little smaller than yours, but they are definitely his signatures IMO. These balls can still go for $100-200, so you never know.

Here's a link to an article about him: https://www.psacard.com/articles/art...row-digiovanna

Wow, that's crazy. Interesting. That's a real talent right there.

Agree, all of these are clubhouse signatures. That's why PSA wrote their cert the way they did.

The pen pressure from one signature to the next is very close - resulting in similar "thickness" of each of the autographs. Anyone who collects autographs extensively, particularly on baseballs, would know that's just not how it goes. Every player signs with a different pressure, speed, etc.

This one doesn't have that, which is a tell tale sign of "clubhouse" signatures.

Lucio, I do appreciate you ending the previous listing and changing the description and the title in the new listing. You do make it clearer than before regarding the clubhouse signatures.
