Amazing pieces from separate eras of ball...... This is either a major collector who knows what they have and knows their value, or a fraudster. Are any authenticated?
The Old Judge and Dogs Head piece is most concerning to me. That aging looks very manufactured.

There is always a chance the sellers don't know. Most, if not all, of these are not even good fakes. And the oldest trick in the book is to throw in one or two good things with lots of fakes to make it seem they are all real.
Just things to be cognizant of. Scamming 101B....not even to 102 yet
.
But no idea if this seller is or isn't in on it. I try to give folks the benefit of the doubt unless there are obvious red flags (more than just selling a fake, possibly unknowingly)
