Would you buy this ball?

Here is the auto from my cronin day pin.

I won't comment on the signature because I don't diddly about that kind of stuff, but the ball looks to have been altered in some way and this is not mentioned in the auction writeup. Can we be certain this was a single signed ball and that other signatures weren't removed?

It looks pretty obvious from the scan.

Very scary, It's Frankenball!

It doesn't look like an official ball. Sometimes, depending on the type of leather that was used, the leather around the stitching will appear darker due to the rolling process after the ball is stitched. If I had to guess, I'd say that's a Wilson baseball. On a cheaper ball the white coloration is on the top surface as opposed to a quality ball that is dyed through. That can become obvious around the stitching.
