It's a CC special. But even their stuff usually wouldn't have a "Los Angeles Dodgers" stamp on a ball that was supposedly signed by a guy that died 10 years before the team even existed.

If you don't mind, what's a "CC special"?

Why does it even look like the dirt or toning is brown dots printed onto the ball?

He's not mad. He is more annoyed that people post stuff like this when even a beginner collector should know better.

That's really interesting. I have seen this on other photos of cheap, new balls - can't remember when or where, but definitely have seen it. They must be printing the simulated wear on the leather prior to stitching.

Can't wait until someone buys a multi signed Selig ball from Roach's with Gehrig, Ruth, Wagner, Anson, Doubleday, Waddell, Delahanty and Jesus Christ himself...and it gets a two minute spot on the local tv station.

"Look what I bought for just $379!!!!ZOMG!!!"

Wait- so your saying a simulated aged and weathered Los Angeles Dodgers baseball signed by Babe Ruth in black Crayola Magic Marker is fake?


Get outta here!

Honestly to me it looks more like coffee staining instead of printing- but it is indeed printed on.

Given how obviously-fake the CC stuff is, don't most of you think that CC and their 'collectors' (those who buy from CC, and those who these buyers then sell to and buy from) are operating within their own little microcosm, everyone involved realizing what they are buying and selling? And if CC accidentally sells something to an 'outsider' (like a newbie on our forum), they just give a full refund and go back to work.

In other words, we're bitching about/laughing at, a bunch of people who are happy with what they are doing.

Basically, it's all about having something on the mantel for soirees, or, if things go really super-good, hooking a live outsider who really thinks the item is real.
