Facsimile Balls
I have tried to contact sellers about these balls on occasion and most seem to appreciate it that I am alerting them to a preprint yet some get nasty about it. I have mostly given up on contacting people now but just sent this seller an email to see if/how they reply. I had to save it just in case it disappears. I did ask to see the Beckett cert, if it was in fact for this exact ball. That would be a keeper for sure.

The seller replied, indicating they were selling for another party and added the certificate to the listing.

Funny how they don't picture the cert though.

I am doing this (buying and selling graphs) for so many years and I am constantly offered these facsimile baseballs as the real thing.
People swear to me that I am wrong when I tell them that. "Grandpa was at the game and he knew so and so and gramps told me this ball would be worth a lot of money someday" is the standard answer. "sorry to inform you but grandpa told you a tall tale" and then they howl and tell me what do I know.

I just took a look at the actual auction which has been ended by the seller.
There is a "Certificate of Review" from Beckett indicating the item is a "superstar auto ball" Beckett once again shines

I would have serious reservations about any collector who keeps his balls on his keyboard.

All kidding and Beckett goofs aside, has anyone ever put together any sort of list of facsimile balls?
I have one I got back when I was a kid. Tried a couple times to figure out what it might be a souvenir of, but made no real headway. Players from different teams, but I don't think they all played in any all-star game. I occasionally consider collecting them, I sort of like collecting things that aren't well cataloged or popular.

I was going to assume the best for Beckett and say that the cert went with a different, but real ball, as there is nothing linking the two together. however, if Beckett did certify this preprint ball, then I don't even have a comment…
