They did look real, and I think he got them right. Plus, he of course had the Sherlock Holmesish Magnifyer

Scott, maybe Drew Max can show us his secret Mantle & DiMaggio exemplars next time.

That softball will be making its next appearance in your favorite mall store or "estate" auction in another few weeks.
Some unknowing person will walk past it and see the two COA's, be impressed by that and buy it.
Then in the future, when and if they try to sell it, the ugly truth will come out.

Morales n Priddy,.. that's what I call a Double Negative.

That's exactly what will happen. It will end up in a antiquities store on the west coast and sold to some impulse buyer for 5-10 times the purchase price that the antiquities store paid. And eventually that impulse buyer will decide to part with it and it will be listed on Ebay and it will be removed.

Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall when a customer calls either ACE or Drew Max and asks them "Why did Ebay remove my item?"

I'll say it again:

Do you guys really believe that these shops--which sell their wares for quite a pretty penny--are actually bidding in CC's auctions? There are very many of those stores, and a number of them probably move more material each month than Coach's does--they'd have to, just to pay the rent.

Don't be absurd. They get their material right from the source--no middleman involved.

They will have no explanation and never will,, but the garbage keeps spreading and infecting the hobby everywhere we look.

It looks like ACE is setting up at the Boston Shriners show at the end of the month. Maybe I will drop in and say hello and ask just how they can explain some of these hideous authentications of theirs!
