FuzzyslothI’d wager that 70% to 90% of the items listed on that website are forgeries. The Frangipani connection, alone, should be reason enough to stay away, but there’s more. Notice how all of the “flats” come framed. In order for PSA/DNA or JSA to authenticate them, they must be removed from their frames. Catch 22. The items cannot be returned to All American if they are unframed (after being ultimately rejected by PSA/DNA and/or JSA). Similarly, all of his signed balls come plastic wrapped. Again, reputable authenticators will not even look at a ball with this cellophane. Once you remove it, have it looked at and it fails, you will not be able to return it. All American has found a loophole that will almost always sting a first time buyer. I know this because of two people that it’s happened to. Additionally, look at his inventory. Don’t you think that the .400 hitter’s ball, the ’39 HoF ball and the ’39 HoF glove (among many others in his inventory) would have sold at those prices if they were real? He’s had them listed for years and they remain untouched. Perhaps he has multiples of those rare, vintage pieces to continuously replenish his stock!
