1927 Yankees team ball forgery

[batsballsbases]

David,
Very sorry to hear that about the ball. My heart goes out to you as a fellow collector of yankees items. But as I have always said this is the reason why I stopped collecting anything autographed many years ago. Letters ,COAs, it doesnt really matter what you have but like I said unless you were there and it was signed in front of you there is NO expert that can say with 100% certainty its real. And like I said my heart goes out to you because its an expensive lesson to learn. You as a collector / expert were even fooled so what chance does a novice to advanced collector with extra $ stand? I think if every member on net 54 kicked in 10 dollars we could help you out of your problem! I will be the first to kick in my friend! Al

Thanks for the offer, Al!

It is an expensive lesson, but that's life. As Tony Soprano would say, "Whadda ya gonna do?"

David, was it Regency Superior auctions? If so, they are still in business...I get catalogs for all their auctions (4 or 5 per year)...just got a catalog a month or so back.

No, Dan. It was Superior Sportscards.

Sorry David....

Although I agree 1,000,000% with Al's quote (which I bolded).
