So, I guess it confirms that MLB does only issue one unique hologram # per item and not for the whole signing. Thanks, guys.

I'm pretty sure the 1 unique MLB number per item thing is correct.
On the same seller with two ID's running simultaneous AUCTIONS though, I remain doubtful. I could see having a high fixed price showing on one account to dupe rubes into bidding more on the auction because they think it's worth more. To run two auctions for the same item though would just be dumb. And that would also mean that he sold the ball to himself a little over a week ago, and paid all the fees and commissions on that transaction as well. Just doesn't make sense to do things that way (though, I guess "making sense" is not a requirement for selling on eBay). The scenario of one or the other selling something they no longer have in hand seems far more likely.
