DJThe consignor does not care. Why should he?
In May, on the VBC Forum, on another "We Hate SCD" thread (one of many), I pointed out the following:
Ball #1: (lot 19)
...grades a 7.5 overall and the ball comes with a COA from the hobby experts/pioneers at STAT AUTHENTIC for authenticity purposes. Book value is over $20,000! Sold for $ 682.
Ball #2: (lot 213)
...grades a 7 overall. It comes with a COA from forensic expert examiner Chris Morales and book value is over $20,000. Nice! Sold for $ 653.
Just for s--ts and giggles, I went to the CCSA site and last month, they had THREE more single signed Mel Ott baseballs.
Ball #1: (lot 7)
...experts at STAT AUTHENTIC and book value on this seldom-seen beauty is over $20,000. Amazing! Sold for $420.
Ball #2: (lot 258)
...Chris Morales for authenticity purposes. Valued into the 5-figures! Sold for $581.
Ball #3: (lot 264)
...expert authentication team at Stat Authentic. Book value is over $20,000.
Sold for $405.
Amazing, isn't it?
It is also good to see Shelly Jaffe on Board. I hope he continues to post and enlighten us with tales from the darkside.
