He has deleted all photos in his posts so I can't see the balls for myself but his previous posts in January were to sell a Ruth/Cobb ball that multiple people said looked no good. Even Leon chimed in to warn people away from it without TPA.

Someone is either clearly upset they can't pull a fast one on a renowned board of long-time collectors or can't face reality that their family bought a bunch of fakes in the 1980s and have been sitting on them until now. Which is an unfortunate reality for many.

Maybe some of the balls are indeed legit, but we may never know because they weren't meant for the eyes of children.

Wow! I'm not an autograph guy at all but even I can tell that's no good.

Did Coaches Corner ever sell anything that was legit? When I started collecting in 1993, I would geek out over their auctions. This was pre-internet and pre-ebay. I bought this Kevin Mitchell ball from them and came to realize it's not even close to his autograph. Why do I even still own this??? I believe the signature on the game worn hat is legit. I have a couple of other CC balls that I think are legit but I'm not going to show them and let you guys burst my bubble!

And for those who missed it, he wasn't looking for opinions. He was offering the ball at a laughably low price if it had in fact been the genuine article. Not too hard to do the math.

I love The " 3 balls are on loan to the Hall of Fame from this collection" ..Classic..

A watch collecting forum I'm a member of (another hobby prone to scammers) has a 200 post minimum before members are allowed to buy or sell on the site, and the moderators are very good about catching people who try to spam their way to 200. Might be a way to cut down on the number of posts like this.

These posts are not very frequent. Its also usually very easy to tell when something is up with a poster or seller.

I probably bought 20+ cards on this site before I had 200 posts so I'm not a fan of this idea.
Making paypal g/s required if you are selling and under 200 posts might be reasonable however.
