Anaconda is still producing them today. They are not selling old stock, they are still printing these balls. WS balls from 1972 and up, with the favorites being 1978,1979, 1981 and 1994. These baseballs appear to be old balls to the collector but they are not. Paige and Munston are the two favorite forgeries on these balls.<br />Bobby Brown baseballs are no asurance that the ball could be authentic. Wayne Bray used to pay $100 apiece for Brown balls when he had a hard time getting them.<br />Finally, Bill is absolutely right. Contact who you can, send this thread to who you can. Law enforcement, newspapers, any contacts you guys have.<br />Especially those of you out there who have been burnt by these people. If you have bought a crap piece, go pursue legal action. Contact local authorities. <br />
