Simply wonderful. I don't have the heart to turn them in, as nobody will bid I hope anyways.

This just proves that junk doesn't burn! You gotta love this though..sympathy angle (the house burned down), authenticity angle (was their grandfathers), devine angle (even a fire can't destroy something of the babe's).
Oh man, where can I bid!!!

Simply hilarious. I was going to contact her and tell her it was blatant forgeries, but she is obviously a crook and if anyone bids on that crap, they should be forced to spend an hour with Chris Morales.

Her ebay id ends with 666. A hint that she's an evil scammer?

"...it will be insured and all the stuff like that."
Might be my favorite line from an ebay listing ever.

"...it will be insured and all the stuff like that."
Might be my favorite line from an ebay listing ever.
The writing style is almost Shakespearean. I wonder how many different ways she can miss-spell the word "burnt/burned"?
In addition to "brunt" and "BURT" I would suggest for future descriptions:
"burnded"
"brunned"
"berned"
"bernt"
"bernted"
Maybe she believes she's exploiting some sort of Ebay Fraudulent Autograph loophole.
"Your honor, I'm innocent you see. For I was not trying to sell a burned autograph, I was trying to sell a brunt autograph. This not only signifies that I am a complete moron, but that the autograph is disclosed up front as a forgery (ie. it has been brunted)."
:D

"when shipped it will be shipped top of the line with sing at door and everything."
might I suggest "There's a Sucker Born Every Minute" from The Music Man as an approprite musical selection to sing upon delivery.

If The Babe shows up at the door to sing - it just might be worth a bid!

Here's another one. This one hasn't been authenticated...haha. I couldnt' tell if that was SUPPOSED TO BE Babe Ruth or Babe Didrickson, the picture is so horrid. An Obvious Double F (Fiasco Forgery):)

LMAO, Grandpa must have been as dumb as a box of rocks for assuming these autographs to be legit. Hell, even Morales would have to reject these as not genuine. I bet my six year old niece could do a better job of forging Ruths signature.

", she has not had it authenticated and that is shown in the starting price."
Only $900 for a ball with some ink on it - just in case it is not authentic - sounds like a deal too good to pass up! Who thinks this stuff up?!
