Deron, crop those photos and re-submit them.

Or resize them.

Shelly, I do not have the balls in hand so I can't do that. They're in an auction so I was just curious if I could get some opinions before bidding. I know the pictures are terrible so I apologzie, but that's all they have.

Granite, thanks for that info, very helpful. I may just put some low bids in and see what happens. So far, not much activity, so if I win them for a couple bucks and they're fake then I won't be too upset.

Truth, I don't know how to do that. Can anyone help me with that?

I am a big Braves fan and major Aaron collector, I do have some of his authenticated autographs and I think this one is real but I am by no means an expert so i appreciate the responses thus far!

I would not bid on those items. Low balling and then winning a forgery is not very smart.

So are you saying that their certs were forged AFTER they closed but before that, their stuff was good? Or are you being sarcastic and saying their stuff was never good? I'm not sure I follow...

Their stuff was great, they did signings and all that (think Steiner), but their certs were slips of paper. Very easy to reproduce or pull a switcheroo.

I gotcha. Thank you all, as always.

Every autograph that came from score board where all authentic.

Definitely.

Scammers have been using (copying, editing, reproducing, etc.) the old Scoreboard COA for years to sell their forgeries.

It's disgusting.

Both are probably authentic. Small pics so I won't say for sure.
