What are you doing?

I'm doing front.

Got a 1951 Yankees team.

Signed baseball.

I've got about 22 23 signatures on the ball.

Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle said.

It's a 51 year they won the World Series.

My grandfather went to a game in 1951 with my mother and receive the autographs from a friend of his that was involved with the team.

The baseball doesn't really mean a lot to me.

I got some family heritage, but the basement.

It's very interesting piece.

What can you tell me about this 51?

That was Mantle's rookie year.

Joe DiMaggio's last.

So you got a critical intersection of history right here on that ball.

This would be perfect for the company softball game.

Some way I'm fixing to hit you.

Looks like you've been run over by a truck.

Condition of this ball.

It is fair to good.

Signatures have faded, but you can read them and I would be suspicious of any other ball.

That was a mint condition, Bo.

What's trying to do?

So it upon it, donated.

I'd like to sell it.

I think the balls well worth $3000.

Do you have any paperwork on it?

None whatsoever.

The war you sell this stuff is with authentication because there's a tremendous amount of people with a ballpoint out there.

I'm definitely interested, Okay, but I just want to have somebody that knows more than me.

Look at this thing.

It's not that I don't trust this guy.

I don't trust nobody, Especially when they're trying to sell me something.

If they want to bring in an expert, I'm fine with it.

I like to learn more about the ball as well.

Hey, man, how you doing?

Good to see you again, Chumley.

I'm a forensic can driving expert and the owner of expert handwriting analysis in Las Vegas.

Do you mind if I take a look at it?

That's why you're here.

That is why I'm here.

I have obtained genuine signatures of all the players on the team that year.

So what I will do is use those as examples and compare them to the signatures on the ball.

When I first looked at the ball, it didn't have any obvious signs of not being authentic.

Certain things that can be done to age.

Baseball would be abrasion to make the signatures look older than they are or exposing it to unnatural elements such as lemon juice and sunlight.

Right now, I'm looking at Mickey Mantle's signature, and I like what I'm seeing.

Because Mickey Mantle had two different signatures.

The first signature that he used in the fifties matches the signature on the ball, which is good, Uh, later throughout the years, Mickey Mantle added a billowing shape.

Us, his m started look like sailboats.

You see that?

That tells me that this signature was from the right time frame from 1951.

That's good news.

Good news for you.

What's the life for?

So I can see the handwriting on the ball.

Oh, the signature.

That's in the best condition.

I would say it would be the Joe DiMaggio signature.

Joe DiMaggio had a real heavy writing style.

Okay, in your opinion, this ball was you could cost finest as a riel.

19 fit to one Ah, Yankees ball.

I do believe that this is a genuine 1951.

Yankees baseball.

Thank you very, very much.

You're welcome.

The value of the ball is really subjective.

It just comes down to what a buyer is willing to pay for it and what the seller is willing to get for it.

So what are you trying to get out?

Every client?

I think $3000 is a reasonable amount for the ball.

If two signatures is better shape, I'd say the ball for well over 3000 in the shape isn't It's not worth 3000.

I'll be glad to negotiate with you, but you're going to come down For what?

If we cut a deal?

What could you guys offer me on this?

I'm gonna shoot your price.

If you don't like it, don't hit me.

But I'd be a buyer in about $800.

This is a historical piece above and beyond the signature factor of the ball, which I will grant you.

The signatures are faded.

I couldn't pay 3000.

You gotta understand, too, that I'm tying my money up and I have to make a profit.

Well, I would respectfully decline the awful saying you're welcome back anytime.

I appreciate it when the price is not right.

It's not right.
