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

Jeter is NOT on that ball. The sig in questions looks nothing like his rushed ball park sig. Once again, Derek Jeter is NOT on that ball.........and I would put my whole collection on it

I agree - from the full panel shots shown, only 25 sigs are clearly visible.

This ball was on Ebay > http://cgi.ebay.com/2008-ALL-STAR-TE...QQcmdZViewItem

I didn't bid on it because I was not convinced that auto in question below
Pedroia's is that of Jeters. I can be wrong since you can make the case for that first mess of a shape as his D but the sequence still seems off.

Hi to everyone following this thread!

a) I have attached numbers to each signature for easier recognition of the current progress.
b) I also modified the list to show autograph vs. number/ball position.
