Need Help W/ Verifying Autograph Ball - jefdav1831 - 08-22-2011
Need some help in finding out if this is real. It was given to my dad as a kid when he lived in columbus Ohio. It is supposedly from the 1970's Reds. I have been told that the balls were not really autographed and just stamps of the actual signatures. Just wanted to post a few pics, and see what everyone thought. The sigs that I recognize in the pics I took are Joe Morgan, and Johnny Bench.

Thanks for the clarification. Any cash or trade value to these things?

Sure there is. Just have to find someone who collects these balls or a team collector.
