Mickey Mantel signed ball from Sear's ??

I purchased through Sears mail order in 1990 a signed Mickey Mantel
Baseball. I paid $35.00 for the ball. It's a Rawlings Costa Rica
+Official Ball+ American League Bobby Brown Pres.
The Score Board , Inc. Cherry Hill , NJ furnished the Certificate of
Authenticity.
Is it real? What's it worth?
Thanks

Whose name is on the certificate?
There are many fakes out there from that period.
I stupidly bought one of them.

BY the way,it's MANTLE,not MANTEL. One of the most famous ballplayers of
all time. here's a hint: if the name is spelled MANTEL on the ball its a
fake.
:-)

I did not catch that spelling error. VERY GOOD EYES

The Score Board Inc. 1989- Another key development during the year
was the decision to sign agreements with sports stars to autograph
sports equipment and novelties for sale to the public. Million dollar
deals were signed with revered athletes such as Nolan Ryan, Mickey
Mantle, and Roger Clemens, who agreed to sign their name to
merchandise in return for payment. Dozens of athletes were signed to
multi-year deals, providing a powerful revenuegenerating engine to the
quickly blossoming Score Board.
