"Genuine" autographed Sandy Koufax ball??

[jgmp123]

Pretty sure that one will be pulled soon....that's not even a good forgery...

[packs]

Koufax doesn't visit Dodgertown in Arizona. Guy is obviously lying. Koufax lives in Florida and is a regular visitor of Mets camp. Don't see him getting on a plane to go to Arizona. I never even saw him at Dodgertown in Vero and that was 10 minutes from his house.

Well, at least you can see it from across the room.

Wow ! Really bad and you say it has bidders ? The argument for in-person variations is that they are "rushed" , incomplete ..signed quickly. That one is DRAWN. Must have taken an hour to do it. With regards to the snapshot of Koufax signing it. If he can produce a snapshot of Sandy hanging upside down and spinning in a circle at the same time while holding the ball and signing it I would say it has a chance

I checked the listing and am also surprised it has not been yanked already. I notice in the description seller uses the word "MOST" of his autographs were gotten in person and he has a robust e-bay feedback number of 2 !

The K in Koufax looks like the K in Ken Boyers signature

WHAT A MESS that ball is....

Hopefully he will be getting his first negative feedback when that monster arrives.

Unfortunately not, because I just bid $1,000 on it with a trash account.

Sandy did attend spring training this year. A kid I coached in on the Dodgers 40 man and met him. That being said I way that auto is real

Do they have any amusement parks there ? Maybe he signed it while he was riding a rollar coaster

Yeah, it was the ride called "The Death Drop" which reaches a top speed of 90 MPH. LOL

Here is Sandy's real signature from two months ago. It's a virtual twin of the "genuine" Sandy in this auction.

I could look at that signed ticket all day. Sah-weet!

Here's the last 3 outs, and if you grew up a Dodger fan you can't help but remember Vin Scully's call of the final pitch since they used it as part of every game's intro. Two and two to Harvey Kuenn, one strike away, Sandy in to his windup, here's the pitch, swung on and missed...a perfect game!!

I agree with the consensus that the auto is really bad. But Koufax does visit Dodger Spring Training in AZ. I have been the past three years, and he has shown up each year for a few days. I actually got some autos from him in-person the first year they moved out to Glendale.
