A computer ??? Back then Rich they weighed 6 thousands pounds and took up 2,000 square feet.
 Ok I'll admit I probably DID wait a little too long on the NET54 part

Even under mild magnification ("Mouse here to zoom in") it looks nothing like a real, fountain pen signature.

Looking only at the scanned images of that particular ball even with the magnification its close enough that it would fool ALOT of people. I would bet that if someone hired a couple of 80 year olds to walk around the National with IT and a story about their "Uncle Joe" or "Aunt Betty" , they would have it sold as genuine before they had a chance to get to their car.

It would certainly fool some collectors--perhaps many collectors. In my opinion, though, any dealer fooled by that ball should rethink his occupation.

The description and price on this one are of note
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...E:B:SS:US:1123 Edit-link isn't working as this ball was removed, but the same link in my eBay saved searches still brings me to the page. How can I do a screen grab?

Has this replica thing become a way to "legally" sell forgeries?

I'm puzzled why people get themselves in such a tizzy about these.  Not everyone can afford things like Tiffany Lamps, Ming Vases, granite countertops, Gibson Les Paul guitars and signed Ruth balls. So replicas or products that appear very similar are produced. The replicas should fool no one who is exercising a minimal amount of due diligence.
