SS balls of Black Sox were inscribed To Charlie and were allegedly given to Charlie Riegler who was one of the umps during the 1919 Series.
From what I was told, Sheen gobbled them up.
Though he was conned I thought he was pretty good in Eight Men Out .
This story is only hearsay but I believe it is true.
And I did see a 1920's NY Giants "team signed" ball at a show, offered to me by the partner of the forger.

Is his partner still active in the hobby?

Also, the young-skilled forger primarily forged vintage baseballs.

Richard just said above that he forged single-signed balls, as well.

That's very disturbing news. Is this a well known dealer?
