Do sellers really not know when it's a facsimile signed ball?
Are some people that innocent that they don't realize they are selling a printed/facsimile signed ball? I've seen this too often where sellers think it's authentically signed but it's clearly printed on the ball. Plus, the signatures aren't even facsimiles of the real autographs! http://www.ebay.com/itm/122333816455?ul_noapp=true Last edited by djson1; 01-31-2017 at 07:20 AM. |

I've done enough estate appraisals to say that, believe it or not, many people do not know a "real" autograph from a printed one. Some estate people even have have a "let the buyer decide" attitude about it (not the ones I work for!)
I think people post those balls with a "well it might be real, let's see what happens" point of view, and unfortunately some buy with the same thinking. |

I get photos of these balls several times a week from people not in the hobby.
They truly believe they have something that has been signed.

I wrote to the seller of that facsimile ball.
Here is his classy reply: "You don't know that for sure. And does my description say authentic ? I believe it is but don't know for sure that's why I didn't say it was. If your not interested please don't send opinions."

Judging by the other stuff he sells (and the size of his hands/fingers), I'm guessing he's just a kid. Last edited by djson1; 01-31-2017 at 12:24 PM. |

He must not have reached the grade in school that teaches the difference between "your" and "you're".

Yep, I stumbled upon many Dodger balls like that doing my Garvey searches and finally just stopped trying to "help" people by telling them the good news. I became convinced that more than half of the sellers knew exactly what they had and were trying to be vaguely deceptive. Occasionally there was a thankful person who didn't know and appreciated me taking the time to tell them or at least that is what they politely told me.

I've run across many sellers listing souvenir baseballs and I have no doubt the majority of them know exactly what they're selling. |
