I've seen a 1942 Cardinals team ball that was stamped on a Ford Frick NL ball. I believe the names were stamped in blue. That example was also very clean and came in the original Spalding NL box.

I have never seen a stamped ball on an Official Natl or Amer League ball, so that information is very, very interesting.

Here are a couple photos of the Cardinals ball that I mentioned earlier. It's dated 1941, not 1942 as I previously stated.

Could you show some more photos of other panels.
I realize the ink looks funky, but this one might be a real ball that was exposed to some weird humidity conditions during storage.

Here is an Official Ball that looks to be a Facsimile signed ball.

William it doesn't appear to be a facsmile since there are different color inks.
The couple that I have all look the same w/ same ink Last edited by Jay Wolt; 04-14-2011 at 08:19 PM. |

Richard, I'll post more when I get home on Sunday. I suppose the possibility exists that it is a hand signed ball but it has some strange characteristics. I'll let you be the judge. I'd say that it's definitely not machine stamped. It looks like the names were laid down one at a time, assembly line style. There is some minor overlap and areas where the ink didn't transfer, but not in a way that looks like the pen skipped, in my opinion.

Richie - that appears to be a signed ball.
William - in my experiences, machine stamped balls never have signatures overlapping.

My take...
Richie's Ball is definitely hand-signed. William's ball is stamped. The only overlap occurs where a dark blue sig overlaps a light blue sig. So I think the ball was stamped in two separate instances (once with dark blue ink and once with light blue). There is no ovelap of names with common-color ink. Perhaps they had not yet perfected the art of stamping these balls yet, since this is such an early example. Regardless, there's no way those names were hand-written, IMO.
