Mickey Mantle baseball, any reason to think this is a fake?

....but enough people said it was good, espicially some of the really good guys on here.

It's just bad etiquette in this forum to hide or withdraw information (such as already having a cert/already been rejected/etc. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but that's how it is here.

Read the "jsa came to town" thread. Tell me how many of those "really good guys" got it wrong?

And yes, if I would have said right away that jsa and Uda authenticated it, it would cloud people's judgement. I left it unsaid to get people's honest opionion.

UDA did not "authenticate" it. UDA are all first hand witnessed signatures from supervised signings.

I contacted Uda, sent them photos and they put it in there data base. Your right, they should not have commented on a fuzzy photo... but at the end of the day, they were wrong!!

Fake news??? Please... I can read, I saw plenty of thumbs up, then thumbs down. Same ball, two different outcomes.... fake would mean that I made that up, pretty sure you can read too

I can see all aspects of this discussion. However, if as some of the authenticators do, the UDA process is an in-person signing only LOA, then this exercise does seem a bit futile. It is kind of like saying "I got this autograph in person (myself), do you think it's real?"

Fake news means distorting and spinning, which you are. People reached different opinions because a much better photo became available, not because they are slavishly following the JSA opinion as you imply.

The first photo of the ball that some people gave the thumbs up was a fuzzy photo from a distance. (In all candor, they should not have offered an opinion on such a poor quality photo.) The second photo was a sharp closeup that clearly showed issues not visible on the first photo.

NO ONE just "changed their mind" just because of the JSA opinion.

Stop spreading fake news.
