If I only had a nickel.....
for all the forgeries on the bay, I could afford several of these replica balls:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/Autographs-Reprints-/50115/i.html?_catref=1&_ssn=celeb-billz&_trksid=p3911.c0.m1538 The seller is listing these as 'replica', however, how much longer will it be before these show up elsewhere as 'authentic', along with a story about how the owner found them in his grandpa's attic. Or will they show up in a CC auction?

I honestly feel these should N OT be allowed on ebay. Its just for the reason that some scum will pass/try to pass , them off as real, and another moron, or someone who doesn't do their homework, will get ripped off. This is all so pathetically bad..

I have no problem with the balls themselves, other than as many of you stated, at some point, someone will try to pass these off as real..
Now, the easy way around that would be to somehow mark the balls as replicas. Like an invisible stamp(s) that shows up only in black-light or something...

These have scared me for a while. And David you are right marking them as a replica would certainly be the right thing to do, but lets face it can we expect the right thing here?

+1, I also feel they should not be allowed to be sold on ebay or any place for that matter. The damage they can do far outweighs the good that can come out of them. I think what is really scary is, after only a couple years these replicas have gotten better and better. The ones showed in this link are "average" at best, but there are other replica vintage signed baseballs that are being produced today that are much better than those. How long until they are able to produce a "replica" that can not be distinguished?
