Possible 1961 Yankees Team Signed Ball - 27 Signatures

[ma-hase2602]

Hi everyone,

I found this autographed ball recently. From my research, it appears to be signatures from the 1961 Yankees. Includes Mantle, Larry Berra, Maris, and others. I am wondering if I could get some opinions on the authenticity, grade, and possible value of this ball. If it's real, I plan to send it to PSA to get authenticated and graded (assuming this is the right path to go down). Below is a list of all the autographs and a link that will take you to the pictures.

Mickey Mantle, Ralph Houk, Ed Ford, Frank Crosseti, Jim Coates, Billy Gardner, Clete Boyer, Larry "Yogi" Berra, Elston Howard, Joe DeMaestri, Tex Clevenger, Bud Daley, Bill Stafford, Bobby Richardson, Roger Maris, Luis Arroyo, Tony Kubek, Earl Torgeson, John Blanchard, Bill Skowron, Bob Turley, Hector Lopez, Wally Moses, Jim Hegan, Johnny Sain, Ralph Terry, Bob Cerv

This looks like a souvenir baseball with printed signatures.

Save your money and forget PSA...

Those are stamped sigs. It's a souvenir baseball- not hand signed.

Edit: Packs beat me to it!

Figured it was too good to be true! Thanks for the help.

One thing to look for is how the signatures are laid out on the ball. On souvenirs like this one they're always perfectly placed so none of them overlap.

Even as a souvenir ball, it's surprising that in 1961, they would print Mantle right across the seams messing up the signature.

Even as a souvenir ball it's a cool piece if indeed 1961. If you decide to sell it I'll bet you'd be surprised at what you get.

Although I'm an autograph collector I have been long looking for those same types of souvenir balls for the 1972-74 A's. Not going to pay through the nose but I'd gladly add them to my collection if found.
