In all fairness to Robert, these "balls" signed by Rose were consigned by the Halper Family as 30 individual lots along with many other items,from the Halper Estate for auction..Robert did not get these items from Pete Rose directly...I am sure Robert was told to auction these one at a time at the bequest of the Halper family.

There is no doubt that the Halper's have been loyal to Robert since the early days of collecting and this was not done as a publicity stunt, this story was picked up by the newspapers and it does make unique reading, as tacky as it seems, It is news.
