I have a baseball that was passed down to me from my grandfather that was signed by either the 51 or 52 Red Sox team. It has Ted Williams' autograph on the sweetspot and Lou Boudreau right below him. It's hard to make out the other names but I think Dom DiMaggio, Johnny Pesky, and Mel Parnell are on it. I'm certain it is legit because the baseball is pretty old looking and my grandfather has had it all these years. There wasn't a lot of fraud with autographs back in the day like there is today. I was wondering if there is a local place to go to get it certified because I am looking to sell it. I would hate to mail it off somewhere to get it certified. If anyone could help I'd appreciate it!
