Might be my favorite line from an ebay listing ever.

The writing style is almost Shakespearean. I wonder how many different ways she can miss-spell the word "burnt/burned"?

In addition to "brunt" and "BURT" I would suggest for future descriptions:

"burnded"

"brunned"

"berned"

"bernt"

"bernted"


Maybe she believes she's exploiting some sort of Ebay Fraudulent Autograph loophole.

"Your honor, I'm innocent you see. For I was not trying to sell a burned autograph, I was trying to sell a brunt autograph. This not only signifies that I am a complete moron, but that the autograph is disclosed up front as a forgery (ie. it has been brunted)."

"when shipped it will be shipped top of the line with sing at door and everything."

might I suggest "There's a Sucker Born Every Minute" from The Music Man as an approprite musical selection to sing upon delivery.

LMAO Mark!

If The Babe shows up at the door to sing - it just might be worth a bid!

Here's another one. This one hasn't been authenticated...haha. I couldnt' tell if that was SUPPOSED TO BE Babe Ruth or Babe Didrickson, the picture is so horrid. An Obvious Double F (Fiasco Forgery)

", she has not had it authenticated and that is shown in the starting price."

Only $900 for a ball with some ink on it - just in case it is not authentic - sounds like a deal too good to pass up! Who thinks this stuff up?!
