Here is another fake item this supposedly 'good guy' is selling. If he's such a nice guy, he needs to at least see an eye doctor before he loses all credibility:

Nothing personal but if you can't immediately, in literally one second, see that this card is really, really bad, you probably don't collect pre-war cards. I don't collect autographs so understand not knowing what I don't collect..... On that card Anson's image is as fuzzy as my beard after 2 weeks. It's horribly fake.

Leon, the funny thing is that I feel the same way about the Ruth ball he is selling.
To put it in perspective, people post bad Mantle and Williams autographs all the time, and people who know those autographs pop in and immediately say how horrible they are. Not me - I really can't tell the difference between a halfway-decent 1980's Mantle or Williams forgery and a real one. I'm sure that if one of the experts here pointed out what was wrong with them, I could learn pretty quickly, but I was given the advice that spreading myself out too thin would dilute my expertise on particular signatures that I know/am learning, and I think that is good advice. So I get it that a few people here see similarities between this Ruth signature and a real one. I also think the shellac job is tainting their thinking. One thing I'm sure about: given that this seller sells a lot of legitimate stuff, but we've seen two forged items from differing hobby areas in the last two weeks, we will see more bad stuff from him. I doubt he's doing it on purpose - I think he just doesn't know cards or autographs, selling so many different baseball-related things that he has not become an expert on many, if any.

Seller disclosed the concerns, and subsequently pulled the auction. He isn't a "card guy" but admittedly should have performed due diligence with this one before posting it (as it is dreadful...)
Bottom line is that he wasn't likely trying to deceive, or "pull a fast one". He employed Kevin Keating to authenticate the autographs he's selling. If the Babe Ruth Ball is still a major concern, then the person who should comment here is Keating (who provided the LOA). |

So to summarize, the seller received this ball 4+ years ago from the original owner and sent it to Keating for authentication. The LOA is authentic although there is nothing concretely linking ball and LOA. I assume Kevin has some sort of record of this, and all that is left is the issue of whether his opinion is correct?
I must say this is a very interesting thread, and would love to see Kevin come on and address this version of events. Scott's initial assertion of mismatched LOA/ball should easily be cleared up. Which just leaves the debate on authenticity.
