And there is one angle of the ball missing from your photos;

We need a picture of the panel to the left of the Printed Writing on the ball

I see Michael Young on that panel

I still do think that is his auto but its poorly done. Maybe he was rushed. Alot of those sigs look rushed....its anyone's guess.

Signatures not only rushed but compressed as he had to find space on a ball that ended up with 30 other signatures. I've seen signatures of my favorite players look very different on team signed balls then when they signed a ball on the sweet spot.

Oops just saw that I wrote HamelS instead of Hamel.

Re: Would appreciate help - 2008 All-Star Game 31 autos w/ MLB Hologram

I think I see Grady Sizemore. Two above Mauer.

I could be wrong on the Cole Hamels, seeing that it's an AL ball, it's probably not him. Ricardo

I see Scott Kazmir

The David Ortiz signature is a little bizarre also. The Ortiz part kind of looks okay but the first initial is very odd.

Maybe they're clubby sigs?

Vintage you said the second 1 down from the hologram. I doubt that is Jeters autograph.

It looks nothing like Jeters autograph, the only thing in common is it has loops which as you can see here Jeter
s normally has 4 loops.

I still do think that is his auto but its poorly done. Maybe he was rushed. Alot of those sigs look rushed....its anyone's guess.

Re: Would appreciate help - 2008 All-Star Game 31 autos w/ MLB Hologram

Bulbus if you look under the loops it doesn't resemble anything to Jeters autograph and there is no "D" for Derek.

I have a rushed autograph on a ball by Jeter and it still looks pretty close to his normal autograph.

If that is a rushed autographed it is so porrly done that you still can't even be for sure it is his because it has nothing besides it having loops that might even come close to resembling a Jeter autograph. Which then still makes it questionable.
