Mickey Mantle baseball, any reason to think this is a fake?

And yes, if I would have said right away that jsa and Uda authenticated it, it would cloud people's judgement. I left it unsaid to get people's honest opionion.

UDA did not "authenticate" it. UDA are all first hand witnessed signatures from supervised signings.

I contacted Uda, sent them photos and they put it in there data base. Your right, they should not have commented on a fuzzy photo... but at the end of the day, they were wrong!!

Fake news??? Please... I can read, I saw plenty of thumbs up, then thumbs down. Same ball, two different outcomes.... fake would mean that I made that up, pretty sure you can read too

I can see all aspects of this discussion. However, if as some of the authenticators do, the UDA process is an in-person signing only LOA, then this exercise does seem a bit futile. It is kind of like saying "I got this autograph in person (myself), do you think it's real?"

Uda saw the ball thru an email, and still accepted it. It's not like I bought it from uda

And the jsa letter came with the ball...

Fake news means distorting and spinning, which you are. People reached different opinions because a much better photo became available, not because they are slavishly following the JSA opinion as you imply.

I never implied, your just upset I asked for opionions on a ball that had certs, never of which I got in person, so to ask for more help is reasonable. Your fake news suggestion is ridicuous!

Stickers can be printed... easy as that....

Wrong. More fake news from you. I couldn't care less if people ask about an item that is already certed.

I'm irritated because you threw dirt on Chris Williams, one of the finest and most selfless people in the hobby. You can't begin to imagine the garbage he has endured because he's had the guts to go after lowlife criminals.

He has offered THOUSANDS of correct opinions here and elsewhere with an extremely high accuracy rate. Yet, if he makes a rare misstep, someone will crawl out of the woodwork to highlight it. That person is you.
