Posted By: <b>Judge Dred (Fred)</b><p>The consignor probably isn't near as disappointed as the person/family that submitted (10) gold double eagles to the U.S. mint for authentication, only to have the mint keep them. Each of the double eagles is worth a lot more than the Ruth signed ball to Williams...

Interesting story... good outcome.
 

Posted By: <b>jackgoodman</b><p>I would hope that Mastro would have allowed the consignor sufficient time to contact their own attorney before simply handing the ball over to the estate's attorneys. How would they know whether someone in the family sold the ball in the past then lied about it being stolen. Just seems wrong to simply give it back to the estate without some legal review.
