I received an e mail today , oh how they lie

I find most people will believe what they want to believe in their mind and heart no matter what the evidence is to the contrary. Most want to believe in their family rather than an outsider , and that is just human nature .

Richard,

Too funny. Not sure why but it reminded me of this silly joke:


Why was the baby ant confused? Because all his uncles were ants.


I think this collector is also clearly confused!


Peace, Mike

But I won't completely put down facsimile signed balls.

To be honest, even though I have hundreds of authentically signed balls in my collection now (I hope they're authentic!), one of the most treasured ones I have is a facsimile Dodgers team ball from the '70s that I got as a kid at Dodger Stadium. It was probably my first baseball memorabilia item and even though I was 8 years old and knew the signatures were just printed on there, I would still spend a lot of time just staring at it as it gave me a special feeling looking at all the different signatures.

I guess those feelings stuck with me and now I'm addicted to spending too much money on signed balls.

Just the opposite in my house. My FIL doesn't believe a thing we tell him, his faith is in joe on the trolley
