And the seller admits that he could not get it authenticated by PSA.
These bidders are truly morons.

Many eBay buyers don't bother to read the description. I can almost guarantee you that the winner of this auction will be such a buyer and will be thrilled about the "steal" he just made.

No offense to the OP, and although I don't disagree with respect to the above ball, but just because PSA says it's no good doesn't mean bidders are purposely buying forgeries.
I have a few autographs I got in-person that I submitted to PSA on one of their bargain days and they came back no good. If I was to sell those signature and disclosed that although PSA rejected the autograph, I personally got it signed and it was 100% authentic, it would just mean that any bidders in that auction would know more about that signature than PSA did.

Looking at that ball and the seller's description, I can come to no other conclusion that these bidders are true morons.

bbcardstor is pathetic and nothing that they do surprises me....I have a bad experience with them as a buyer of one of my auctions and I had to block them from future bidding.....

They must have more money than they need. I would like to see them send these "treasures" to a reputable auction. The laughs would be deafening.
