Well even though I sent Doug pictures of good and bad rings, apparently that's good enough evidence for Doug.
I am including a picture of the AL Championship ring from Doug's auction. You will notice in the photos (the first picture) that the consigned ring is missing any and all stars at the lower portion of the top-hat, and notice that the diamond prongs are way too big.
You can also see that the top hat is not attached to the ring as cleanly as the real ring.
Doug feels everything is fine.
I will reach out to Balfour.
If anyone knows how to reach the FBI I would appreciate some help.

I sent pictures of the Legendary rings and pictures of real rings, and a copy of Irv Lerner's newsletter, where he boasts he will make any Yankee ring, with any name from any year.
Here is the email I received from a Balfour Executive.
Michael, just wanted to acknowledge receipt of your e-mail and thank you for the information. I have discussed this with our pro sports sales and as always we are concerned. We will be prepared better to deal with this situation thanks to your help. It would be nice if we could shut down all the thievery and copying of goods that exist out there but it’s almost impossible. I concur the pictures you sent are not Balfour samples. Thanks again,
I forwarded the email to Doug. I hope he will see the light and do the right thing.
Leon, in case Doug assures me these rings are still good, I'd appreciate the name of the FBI person. Besides the bs indicator going off when Doug said "the items are fine, they were acquired from a Balfour sales rep", I now have an email from Balfour saying, "those rings are no good".
