Completely agree on the Anson...the other thing about that piece is it was about 60-70% the size of an actual baseball (as noted on the COA)...but you nailed it...the condition of the ball not matching the sig is the giveaway.

The Speaker is still intriguing to me...the only part of it that looks goofy to me is the tail of the 'i' in Tris, which is a little sharper of a point than the sigs on the PSA page, which are all pretty smooth...the 'p' doesn't quite match either...OK, I'm no longer intrigued

Would have been friggin cool to get a Speaker ball for $180 though, right?
