Regarding Ebay autograph forgeries
 

With Ebay having "banned authenticators" and such, they should also REQUIRE that people DISCLOSE fac signed balls. This ball has a pretty high bid, and even taking into account stupid bidders, this isn't right. I wrote the seller, and will prob be sent a nasty reply. Or, am I TOTALLY BLIND and is this REAL signed? I don't think so:rolleyes:

It has been removed by eBay.

No, it has not.

It is pretty obvious that this is a stamped facsimile, and the bids are not out of line with that at all. I agree that it should be in big bold letters, but you can't protect all idiots from themselves. We'd all live in those gerbil bubbles.

the link provided indicates that the item in question has been removed

lets see

The link goes to a live auction which appears to be shilled and is certainly a facsimile signature ball.

The original link goes to a listing that has been removed, and thus my comment. The second link provided by the OP shows a stadium ball.

I've always wanted a ball signed by Larry Barra & Casey Stengl. I probably shouldn't say this, but balls signed by those 2 are VERY RARE.

I know, I most likely cost myself alot of money by "outing" that fact.

I received a message back and the man said he revised it and did not intend to mislead folks. be interesting to see if there are cancelled bids
