I just did a quick google search, Id say it looks close. I would send it in for authenticity.
To find out thats really the best option.

The ball looks too new and the auto doesn't appear to show any wear considering it would have to be decades old.

Not true! DiMaggio died in 1999. He signed cases of new baseballs for friends, families, and promotional purposes related to the Joe DiMaggio Childrens Hospital, and Star Island Condos. There are plenty of "new" balls that can be in circulation.
JacobyStealsHome has the right idea. What does the ball stamp look like, who was the commissioner of baseball, or league president stamped on the ball.
BTW: The sig looks good to me! (If the ball is right)
I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

MUST?
My Joe D auto doesn't have a loop, and I saw him sign it!
I sign my name about 20-25 times a day, sometimes, my own sig looks weird to me!

no most like greatest in amount... like I said I just searched ebay for baseball signed and most not all had a loop in the D on the bottom... like I said though signatures vary and change over time. Instead of posting it for a whole bunch of noobs to analyze pay to get it authenticated
