Evidently there's a lot of value in "Displays Beautifully!"

Drew Max authenticated, ball manufactured after the signer's death - how could you go wrong?

I love it when sellers use a scanner to "photograph" baseballs.

You can see with the naked eye the gaps in the ink that was placed on the Hodges ball. It is fugly.

What are you complaining about? It's a reproduction signature. It was sold as a reproduction. And--just so there's no problem with possible future sales--it looks like a reproduction.

It's no different than the stamped baseballs that were sold at stadiums in the 1950s and 60s.

David, his Babe Ruth ball looks like he is using your 1927 Ruth as an examplar.

Thanks for letting me know. Mike.

Am I complaining? I think not...

I am fairly disappointed that someone can note a 'computer generated' ball is "$6000 if authentic" and using that as a sales pitch get $140.

I understand it is sold as a reproduction and I have no problem with that...

I am noting the absolutely ridiculous price the reproduction got.

There sure is.

I saw a show where they were looking at stuff done by interior decorators. One in NYC had a small wall the client wanted made "more interesting" before a party.

3 cheap shelves, tracks and brackets
maybe 20 cheap used books
Some brown paper bags to make book covers like we did in Jr High.

I figure the total cost must have been around $50.

Price to the sucker client? A nice $3k :D

Makes a ball with a computer printed decal seem cheap at 145
