Default Auction House Autos-What do you think???

Gents,
I actually try to attend this auction once a month because they typically have a good baseball memorabilia or two... they have 3 autographed balls up for auction this week (mantle, williams, dimaggio)... all of which look questionable at best... I want to notify them, but was hoping to get some opinions prior to doing so...

I dig this hobby, but I get disturbed when consignees float crap through unsuspecting auction houses, who in turn float them to unsuspecting (un educated consumers)

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,
David

I am rather new at autos and that Williams and Mantle are horrible even with the far away photos.

David there needs to better education in the auction world. If I have an item that is consigned to me of significant value I try to verify its authenticity. I do not care if it is a Rolex, Rookwood Pottery, or a painting. On the other hand, I typically will get more money for those items because I stand behind my statements. Even on auctionzip live if you run really good items they will bring really good money.

Another example of someone selling junk on a site that does not police itself.
