Could PSA really authentic this ball?

How would you like to bid on something that says PSA precertification and then POOF! Your bid is cancelled because they decided they might want to get around to authenticating it now.

I CAN'T bid in their future auctions, and neither can Richard because we have the gall to point out this glaring problem that they can't fix or explain what is going on?

How did these two items that were allowed to take bids get precerts from PSA?

We saw the same live-bid-items with auction loa's previously, namely an operation bullpen Muhammad Ali glove, and two operation bullpen Muhammad Ali autographed Ali/Chamberlain posters, plus I have seen numerous others, a horrible Manny Pacquiao glove, along with some other boxing items, they had JSA auction LOA's, or did they?

If they knew they were listing precerts or auction LOA's for live items and taking bids 7 MONTHS AGO when I pointed them out, and they are still doing it, would they care to explain why - when all they have said in the past is that it was a preview item that was not for sale and would never see a live sale so no big deal?

These items are getting bids, and they say precertification from PSA/DNA. Is that the truth or not? How about PSA explaining if they think it's okay that their precertification is listed with these items?

I don't get why there are sacred cows that can't be questioned without the person bringing it up being the bad guy, bidding account cancelled, suspended and banned?

It's important that Chris Ivy explain why he said that preview items that weren't receiving bids were the only items that had this designation of auction loa or precerts when it is clear that items up for bid seem to have this same affliction. Why can't he admit it that items up for bid have this same problem?

Would admitting it be the same as saying that the article on deadspin was hitiing too close to home, that they offer items up for bid with this same designation of precerts when there really isn't precerts.

All the collectors want is answers. We have none.

I've worked for a California Casino for 25 years now and I can't tell you how many times I've had irate customers acussing us of cheating them out of their $120 as "it's impossible to lose six hands in a row!" I always ask the question "why would a company that does a few hundred million a year in business cheat you out of $120?"

Heritage Auctions did over $700 MILLION last year! Does anyone really think that they would knowingly try and scam ANY of their customers out of a $100 baseball? Or even a $10,000 Baseball for that matter! SEVEN HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.

It seems to me that they may have a problem with the employee/s that heads their internet sports auctions. But to continue to bash them over and over again has gotten very, very, old.

I've never bid in a Heritage auction nor have I met any of their employees, but I would believe what Leon says of Chris Ivy and Heritage... "There is 0 doubt in my mind they will stand behind whatever they do."
