Default Mathewson Ball on Ebay... ended tonight
Link to auction

I was going to out this one pre-auction, but chose to wait in case someone here wanted it to fly under the radar. I am no expert, but sometimes things just don't look right. This ball seems to be too clean, in my opinion, and the auto just looks like it was drawn carefully, not signed by Christy.

Perhaps the final price indicates some reservation from bidders, as I'd expect a real Matty ball to sell for much more.

Thoughts?

I don't like it and yes, it looks drawn and a good Matty goes for a LOT more than that.

If the seller is the one who purchased it from RE, he lost a fair amount of money, considering ebay and PayPal fees.

Looks like it sold for about the same price is did at REA.

Personally I would never purchase a Mathewson signed baseball.

Agreed. I'm leery of any pre WWI stars single signed balls on the sweet spot

It would appear, due to the price it sold for in both auctions, few thought it was authentic.

Why buy it in REA, where prices realized supposedly are so high, and then try to sell it on ebay, where prices realized usually are lower than in major auctions?
Buyers remorse?
