Opinions on Signed Mantle/Dimaggio/Berra/Mays Ball
I recently purchased this ball that was listed on eBay. It is supposedly signed by Mickey Mantle, Joe D, Yogi B, and W. Mays. The seller said he went to several signing events back in the late 80's and early 90's and got this ball signed at an event in the Bay area of California where all 4 guys were present. I attached several photos of the ball here. I have already sent in a QuickOpinion of the listing to PSA/DNA to see what they think. I purchased it through PayPal exclusively outside of eBay so I believe I have their buyer protection. In the event that this is fake, I should be able to get my money back.
Thus, my question is: REAL or FORGERY? |

Why did you buy it then ask? Why wouldn't you do the research to see if it's authentic before you buy it?

Rookie mistake. Then again, I felt comfortable knowing that I have buyer protection from PayPal. I also spoke to the seller on the phone about it and felt semi-comfortable so I took a shot in the dark.

The "D" in DiMaggio looks to be slowly drawn...

You paid $600.00 for that crap!!!
Unbelievable!!!! I had that crap on my Watch list to see if it would sell....and it did. Ebay seller Padrestiempro writes "All were obtained by me personally." http://www.ebay.com/itm/Joe-DiMaggio...p2047675.l2557 |

these are absolute no doubt forgeries. It is highly unlikely that an authentic ball with Joe D and Mantle on the sweet spot for sell for $285.

After I purchased it through PayPal, the listing was never taken down. So I went on my brothers eBay account and hit "but it now" to see what the seller would say (I was trying to see if he was BS'ing me). He sent a message to my brothers ebay saying that the item had already sold. Not sure why he left it up and increased the price for that matter...
One concern I have is - he said he obtained the autographs in 1987-88. If you notice, its a Rawlings "bobby brown" ball. If you look it up, those particular balls should have "Haiti" listed under the Rawlings logo if it was in 1987-88. This ball has no logo underneath the rawlings, which indicates it was manufactured after 1993. Seems fishy. Last edited by Cruise1659; 08-06-2016 at 06:06 PM. |

Point taken. It was a mistake.
Will be interesting to see what PSA/DNA quickopinion says |

Seller states that he left the listing up in order to save himself from having to pay a fee for taking it down early.

If it was a "Buy It Now" or "Buy It Now/Best Offer" auction, there is no fee for taking it down early.

It's irrelevant now.
Just get your money back. |

As son as I saw the ball I knew it was bad....and that's because I've learned what to look for over MANY years and input from Chris and Shelly and others.
I think Chris has mentioned in the past, "it's nothing that can really be explained, you just know the bad ones when you see them."

Ebay seller Padrestiempo Mickey Mantle Forged Baseball
Ebay seller Padrestiempo has re-listed (I'm not surprised at all) his set of Mantle, DiMaggio, Mays and Berra forgeries on a baseball.
