Played out in homes across the US:
Dad: "Hey son, look what I got for you on my business trip to Atlanta (or insert another city here). A ball signed to you by Hank Aaron (insert another celeb here)." Really signed by his buddy on the trip.
Son: "Gee, thanks Dad. How did you know Hank was my favorite player?"
40 years later -
Son: "I'd like to sell my Hank Aaron signed ball. Got it in person in Atlanta"
No willing intent to defraud. Just passing along a ghost/secretary/ballboy/pre-print ball that the original owner thought was real.
Not saying that is the case here, but I'm sure it has happened many, many times.
