Its a sickness/disease and how the FBI doesn't move in on our friends in PA baffles me. I always had a weird idea to just go down to where their "office " is, and just walk in.
In all seriousness, yes, there are numbers of potentially bad balls signed by Ruth, Gehrig, Young, etc that the Alphabet kids and others have mistakenly identified, and ITS A PROBLEM
But, when you seriously look at how much has gone out of CC in the past years, its scary. Sometimes, since many smart people know that if it walks looks like dog food, smells like dog food, its not filet Minon, the prices stay low in comparison to what REAL signatures would go for. The real prob is the numbers who try and turn them to unsuspecting "local auctions" or casino stores, etc. The recently closed Americas memories at Mohegan sun here in CT used Morales and other FDE's for their stuff and I just shook my head.
I mean, the Roaches seriously have stuff that is literally either impossible to obtain or VERY hard, and nearly impossible to authenticate. Then, they throw in Witch Trial prayer teething blankets and other stuff too for a change of pace.
So, in closing, Lets not look at the CC and the like stuff and poo poo it, because its not a Babe ruth 50K ball in a major auction. Lets get rid of all this crap, and for those who love this part of the Hobby, make them feel a bit more comftorable in what they buy, and also to rely on themselves and their freelings more than just words on a piece of paper.
