Normally in a signature, a person will sign with lighter areas and darker areas and especially on a basketball, because of the bumps, there should be alot of lighter areas but alot of the signatures are solid black. So here is where I am curious if that affects the value at all. If the signatures are real but have been gone over to make them stand out. Thanks in advance for your help and input. Julie, this is certainly a touchy area in regards to your basketball, there are a few things I can safely say without seeing the ball in-person.
Some markers are better than others.
Lastly, the owner may have done this. Best thing to do is compare it to other basketballs and signatures. If in question, you can always return the item. I have an original signature with dedication in Indian of Gandhi. I would like to know, if it has any value and to whom I could ask any information about.
