Question about this Babe Ruth Signed Ball

[jad22]

Who is bidding on these auctions? I just don't know how they still get bidders.

My guess, people who are relatively uninformed, not doing any research and looking for a deal. The old adage still proves true, "If something sounds too good to be true..."

Also people who deep down want to believe something is real even when logic says it is not real...emotion sometimes gets in the way.

The buyers of these things could be using CC as a discount store for cheap forgeries for reselling. They get an autograph that will fool a few people and comes with a COA. They can then hide behind the COA if their buyer complains.

If you don't think there are plenty of buyers out there for this sort of stuff, just look at all the people right here on Net54 who show us an obvious forgery and ask if it's real or not, some of them even referring to COA's from scammers that we all know about, but apparently plenty of future collectors don't.

The trouble is those people still do not believe the opinions expressed here. I wonder how many people still buy a piece when the people on this site say it is not good. The majority of people believe a COA from a TPA over the experience and knowledge that is available here.
W C Fields was right " there's a sucker born every minute".
