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?

I my lifetime as a collector, I have been called by people from my ads telling me they had this team ball etc thinking they were an autopraphed ball. Many of you have had the same thing. No special markings, no notice that they were fake. They were stadium balls.
We can't police everything, people have to become knowledgeable about what they are buying |

The best stadium ball story I have had the non pleasure of experiencing - I get a call from a guy with a 1970's Munson era Yankee ball. "I was in the dugout and got this ball signed." He pays me a visit bringing his two teenage boys with him. I meet him in my apt. bldg. lobby. He pulls out a stadium ball and I immediately tell him what he has. He goes into this angry screaming rant, right in front of his two kids, "this ball was signed for me, blah, blah, blah." I tell him, "maybe you got a ball signed for you,but not this one." I just turned around and walked away and heard him mumbling to his sons.

How great would it be for some A-hole scammer to buy a bunch of these replica balls, hoping to flip them as real, only to find out that they've been marked. Would be even better if ebay/paypal blocked all attempts at refunds on items clearly sold as reprints or replicas.. After that, anyone caught selling a marked ball as authentic, could possibly be prosecuted. Last edited by novakjr; 01-22-2012 at 05:51 PM. |

And it is only their opinion that the autograph is bad. Travis and I have pointed out many items that were INCORRECTLY deemed to be not authentic. What does someone do then, if PSA destroys an autograph (especially boxing where they seem to know nothing) that is really good?

I have told the board about two Ruth autographs that I had sold which I bought, along with others, from a man who lived in my apt.bldg. He was an in person collector , worked on Ruth's radio show, hung out at Ruth's hotel and became a close friend of mine. These two items were incorrectly rejected by PSA when they were submitted by the people I sold them to. One of the two was then submitted to Lelands who sold it, the other one was kept by the dealer I sold it to because he knew I was right about it being authentic. He then sold it later on. What if they had marked those two items as not authentic. I think the owners would have wanted to return them to me then. I would have sued PSA in half a second if they had marked them as not authentic and I am sure I would have won.

Can you imagine what would have happened to the boxing market if all those "bad" Liston autographs and the Fitzsimmon picture and whatever else they were wrong about in boxing had been permanently marked as bad by PSA?
