Most you can't get a good look at, but scroll down to the baseballs. Especially remarkable is the last item. I don't want to ruin the fun!

[mr2686]

Seriously? Those baseballs are so bad, I could do a better job with my off hand while blindfolded and drunk.

[Deertick]

You forgot to add: while riding in a jeep without a seatbelt on while off-roading.

Actually, they may be considered quite good for someone who has never before attempted (or seen) these particular autographs. Or written on a baseball for that matter.

Deertick look at the Johnny Bench ball you may change your mind. Johnny has great handwriting and would never sign that sloppy. I am a Reds fan and was amazed that they even have a horribly fake Pete Rose. Why fake a photo with so little value. I guess this is a beginning forger.
I emailed the auction house and said the following
I was looking at your autograph auction and that is nothing but fake garbage. If you want me to email you pictures of real photographs or call you and explain why let me know. You have been warned that these items are bogus. Not even decent forgeries.

After warning them you should have said that if the auctions are still running in 24 hours you are contacting the FBI's local Tampa office.

[travrosty]

they specialize in gold and silver, and autographs that look like a 3 year old did them.

I went to the Facebook page of Proxibid where they are promoting a Michael Jordan autographed jersey. Yes, I left a comment about their Jordan autographed jersey.

My favorite also

Another possible explanation for how slow and shaky these are: Someone was slowly spelling the names as the guy signed them.
"D-E-R-E-K J-E-T-E-R"

I tried before (see other thread, http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=150386 ) with no understanding of the problem elicited from any of the authorities I contacted. Investigative consumer reporter for the newspaper still hasn't got back to me. They have still shown MUCH more interest than the others.

BTW, that Auction Kings event sold those bogus items for in excess of $2K. I told them they were fake. They don't care. $800 cut must be worth their intergrity.

I think these were signed by the interns at CC, they are just practicing for the real thing but so far they are so awful that Lee has said "NO WAY" to these.
I never thought I would say this but these would be rejected by CC.
There is no way any of their authenticators could pass these.
Not even at CC.

I emailed asking who COA's were on several of the items, no response.

Looks like all of the photos were taken in the bathroom. Classy.

Wow, you mean even CC has its standards? Too funny Richard

[HOFAUTOS]

Whoever signed the Gwynn signed his sons autograph, Tony Gwynn Jr. They must have used an UD card where the stickers were placed on the wrong Gwynn, as an exemplar. Absolutely horrible. This is in my neck of the woods. I might have to go check it out.
