why no bids on cobb ball?

[lug-nut]

sorry if i'm calling this listing out but does this look strange to anyone? why wouldn't the seller have it authenticated? i've been looking for a ty cobb ball for awhile now and this looks pretty nice.

I think the lack of authentication is a big minus. Few collectors want to pay thousands for an item that doesn't have a COA/LOA. As a layperson/collector who has looked at a lot of Cobb autos, it doesn't look bad. Again, I have absolutely no training or authentication experience so mine is purely a guess.....What does a ball like that with a COA go for? Is that already top price? Does it matter it was 20 yrs after his playing days?

There's still plenty of room price-wise (for a Cobb Ball that nice). I would bet there are more than a few people doing PSA "Quick Opinions" on this one as we speak.

With over 5 days still left, I don't think the lack of current bids means a whole lot. Anyone serious about winning it would have a snipe in place. It will be interesting to watch this one, as it looks pretty good (LOA or not).

It looks to me like one of the printed on signatures that have been discussed in the same vain as the Ruths, and Gehrigs that were being printed on created balls. I dont like the ink it looks to uniform and not right at all to me.

I see what you are saying JD, after reviewing it, it looks like its a combination of a three different signatures. I've never believed that a signature is exactly the same every time. However, I've been burned before and I what I don't like is the statement "The winning bidder will have 7 days to examine the ball and a full refund will be given if not satisfied" Well, the only thing I can do is contact PSA and see if they'll do a walk-through within those 7 days.

Or, would ebay's money back guarantee come into play?

Not to embolden anyone looking to take a chance, but eBay's money back guarantee ALWAYS trumps, regardless of what the seller states in their description.
