While I hope every fraudster gets caught, this one's almost like a t206 Wagner as far as I'm concerned, such that I have no sympathy for any buyer unless he conducted a thorough investigation and was elaborately set up through a series of ruses suitable to make "The Sting" look like a smash and dash. I mean c'mon, a ball with only 8 signatures, each just happening to be one of the Black Sox? Not a team ball mind you, but a ball that each of the banned players signed why, because they were so proud to be remembered as a group?
Possible-sure, suspicious, gee I don't know.
