The collector's websites I've hit seem to place a premium on "hand signed" balls which makes me ask whether or not there is an alternative. I understand that "franking machines" exist, so , if the Packers donate a ball ... is there a chance that ball was signed mechanically? I haven't seen it yet and do not know if there is a letter of authenticity yet.</blockquote>
