If I only had a nickel.....

+1, I also feel they should not be allowed to be sold on ebay or any place for that matter. The damage they can do far outweighs the good that can come out of them. I think what is really scary is, after only a couple years these replicas have gotten better and better. The ones showed in this link are "average" at best, but there are other replica vintage signed baseballs that are being produced today that are much better than those. How long until they are able to produce a "replica" that can not be distinguished?

To the Op's and others concern of these being passed of as authentic,that is not likely, I am familiar with the technique used to make these repos, in fact I make them for my own personal displays. In the past few years, I have grown very weary of adding to my autograph collection with all the fakes, frauds, and authenticators making mistake after mistake. I enjoy making my own signed balls FOR MY COLLECTION,let me be clear I do not sell these on Ebay or anywhere else.The process used to make these balls is very simple and make a nice display piece but that is about it,no chance anyone would mistake these for an ink signature.
