I came across this 1960 Pirates teamed signed ball and it was apparent the Murtaugh was the typical clubhouse version, but then I noticed the Clemente and Burgiss autos; clear fakes. I reached out to the seller to inform them and here was his response.
His response:
"I appriciate your concern, but I have sold 3 of the same type balls and have had no issues, The authnetication process is a completer fraud bogus business anyways. I have been in this business for over 30 years and have seen the so called experts pass items I known for fact that were not legit, then not pass stuff that was. so my thought is all in the eye of the beholder ! But thanks"
I dug a bit deeper and saw a negative review on a Rice auto and saw a Gretzky auto that looked bad too. I've reach out to ebay to have the Pirates ball removed but I hope to stop having these autos make it into private collections.
