Shoeless Joe, Mathewson, etc. Signed Balls

[Shoeless Moe]

How does a "legitimate" auction house put this crap in their auctions?

And look at what they say at the bottom of the auction page:
"Each autographed lot is accompanied by a Premier Auctions LLC. Letter of Authenticity."
They give LOA's for replica baseballs. What can the LOA say?
"We guarantee that this is a replica."
Classic. I am speechless.

Damn, these are all over Ebay and now they are being sold at auction houses? You gotta be kidding me!!!

[Runscott]

Wow - what a great place to get autographs. There are still signed photos of Don King AND Ernest Borgnine, with no bids!!!

Scott <=== might use Premiere stuff to redecorate the man-room

I saw this and was not only shocked that they are selling them, but that the opening bid for each is 100 bucks. Huh?

[Wymers Auction]

I hope nobody bids on that. I saw those and thought it was weird to sell them beside nice legitimate items.

I see that the Mathewson and Young replica balls sold for 120 each, or 144 after BP.

Who would pay that much for a replica sig, unless they had a way to try and profit...

[murphusa]

funny thing is you can buy them on ebay for 49.95 each

Will the balls appear artificially aged the next time we see these two?
