Chris - you told the seller that you wanted it at full price even though they think it is not authentic, and they refused? |

Sounds to me like the seller was unhappy with the price and decided not to sell (sort of a "double secret reserve".) |

Exactly. I will admit, I got a steal on the item, but that's the way it goes when you list an item with no reserve, right? |

I would move on and be glad I didn't lose any money in the process. Nothing is worth that kind of hassle to me. |

That's exactly how it is supposed to go. If the guy is a regular ebay seller there is always feedback to use, but if he's new or doesn't care, it might be more trouble than it's worth. |

Believe me... Moving on is definitely something I would consider, but this guy thinks I am some schmuck that found a nice item that I really don't know about. |

feedback of 1. I'd let it go and report the seller to ebay. |

He had zero when I initially bid, but I did reach his cell phone. I am gonna go after this guy, unless he has some actual realistic reason why he can't send me the ball. |

Chris, Let him know you think he is lying. I am sure that he must have some type of rejection letter claiming that its not authentic. Let him know you would like to see that. If he can not provide that then he is lying. Richie |

Nice Item....Lombardi is the man! I can totally relate to your frustration and perhaps you can bluff some legal action. But to actually put time and cash into it will probably only get you frustrated, kind of like trying to catch a ghost. |

Let this one go. I wouldn't want to own that ball. |

Lombardi single-signed balls don't appear, ever... Also, it's on a Thorp "The Duke" ball. I know most of you guys here are baseball guys, obviously, but this ball is comparable to a Munson single-signed, if not rarer. |

Like I said, it's not real. There are formation issues in individual letter construction, and the placement of the signature is not right. From the few single-signed balls I have seen, Lombardi, when given the choice/room, would kindly center his signature on the ball either above or below "The Duke" logo. Not surprisingly, his signature placement would be more random on a team-signed ball if he wasn't the first to sign it. Also, the way the ink sits on this ball leaves more to be desired. There are too many things wrong with this ball. Be glad you didn't win it. |

I respectfully disagree with pretty much everything you just wrote. To each his own. |

I am not an authenticator, but have collected football signatures for many years. I agree with Jodi's assessment of the Lombardi, but it sounds like you want it regardless so best of luck on the situation. |

Thanks... I have owned probably 30 Lombardi autos in my life. I a pretty sure this one's legit. Probably 99 percent of the ones on the team-signed balls were clubhouse sigs. Real Lombardis on footballs are almost non-existent. |

I think we have a few autograph experts on the board. Maybe they will chime in? The only autograph I can authenticate is my own and I sign so many different ways I can't even guarantee that!! |

Is the signed ball supposed to be the same as the ball in the pictures? If so, the ball in the pictures doesn't have the white stripes like the signed ball does. Not something I would trust enough to pursue. |

Yeah, I know the pic doesnt match, but there is one with a Shriner and I think it's Sonny Jourgenson. I still think it's good, but I don't know if the guy will honor my bid. Oh well, maybe it's a blessing in disguise. |

There is no reason to get worked up about this. I had a similar transaction that went South and I went ballistic. A guy sold a lot of autographs on ebay. I won it and paid quickly through a money order. This was pre-Paypal. The check was returned and the guy said that several of the items in the collection were sold to another buyer. I was furious! I left him negative feedback and he left me negative feedback. He put the rest of the items up for auction and I had someone win it. I didn't learn my lesson I guess. STUPID! Well, after I won, he showed me pictured of the box in tattered shape stating that he accidentally ran the package over with his car. |

You could probably pick one up from Coaches Corner since they are SCD's biggest advertiser. I am sure you could get it for much less as well. My biggest question regarding the authenticity is why would an autograph be listed at half price? Think about it.......When something is too good to be true it is? Jodi does know what he is talking about |
