Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>A few weeks prior to this thread being started, I contacted Ted Taylor in regards to the Amos Rusie ball that was in the Coach's auction. I had asked him how he had come to authenticate it as genuine and was even willing to drive down to PA to look at it myself with my own expert. After one or two back and forths in which Mr. Taylor was getting irrate with my logical questions, he of course stopped answering my e-mails. <br /><br />The Rusie ball, which is probably a $50,000-70,000 baseball, sold for less than $1,700.<br /><br />I contacted him yesterday in hopes of getting a response that I can share with the board as far as him either participating or not-participating and he released to me the following statement which I told him ahead of time that I would share with the group in a posting:<br /><br />I have no interest in the petty rants of such small minded people. In fact we have not read nor will we. <br /><br />Robert
