While I can't speak with any certainty about the ball itself, I have sold to (and recently bought from) Tom on several occasions, all without incident or issue. I believe he recently liquidated a number of his vintage ball acquisitions, the lemon peel ball being one of them. I could speculate as to why (moving on to other areas of collecting?), but whatever the case, hope to have opportunity to do business with him again as he has always been a pleasure to deal with.

I believe he is also a member here (hi Tom), though I don't know how frequently he checks the boards.
