I'm curious why you don't use gloves when handling a ball, especially one that potentially has players of that caliber on it. I only buy autographs certified by psa/jsa but wanted your input on the matter. Don't you worry about oils from the fingers, etc leaving marks on the ball?
I know you asked this three years ago but I might as well respond now lol. The material that gloves are made of can damage the ball just as much as human oils can. If this was deemed authentic I'm sure they would have taken a bit more care with the ball as well. In addition to the material of the gloves, they do not perfectly hug to one's hand, meaning that it may touch unintended parts of the item at hand. As long as the human hand does not touch near to the signature the oils won't damage the autograph. Good question though.
Says the guy who authenticated the Bill Huggins Walter Johnson ⚾ baseball put some sheen on it & some salmon after the fact & f***ed up on the c on mickey 😬😆 sucks at signing Cepeda also.
