Hey everyone! Autograph ID help on a basketball

[benchmark99]

I was just given a kind of ratty basket ball but it has a silver autograph on it. I have no idea what the name is nor the number of the player. It looks like the number 53 but I'm not certain. Can anyone with knowledge of autographs mayhaps be able to decipher it? I thank you in advance!

[benchmark99]

*crickets* Nobody knows huh?

How about George Adams? He played for San Diego in 74, and wore #53.....that's all I got, lol.

I'll investigate that. I'm thinking it is from the nineties though. Thx!

[stashyourcash]

Yeah, I agree. The guy could have signed it in the 90's but that's a bit far-fetched, too. The other #53's I looked up didn't have names that were even close to that signature. Good luck!!

[benchmark99]

Thanks. I too lookedat the 53's and could find notta. *sigh*

What city do you live in?  Or where did you acquire the ball?  That might narrow it to a possible team.

[benchmark99]

Orlando, Florida. It may be a Magic player but I'm doubful. But, who knows right.

I really figured there would be TONS of sports fans n this group who would recognize autographs. Derp!

It's Christmas time...people are busy. Try again during March Madness.

Maybe it's 55 instead?

[benchmark99]

I think I've gone thru all the 50's.

[benchmark99]

Yeah! I figured it out myself! Artis Gilmore! Thanks everybody who tried to be of assistance. Appreciated.
