Roberto Clemente Signed Autographed Baseball Global Authentics

[Bilko G]

Wow just a bunch of fraud and scamming going on. Like seriously, who in there right mind can honestly think they can buy an A+ example of a Clemente auto ball for $350?

Hell, for a little over a grand you can get signed balls from Clemente, Mathewson, Jackie Robinson and Chief Bender. Amazing!!!

in all likelihood most of the winning bidders on auctions like these have a good idea on what they are bidding on and receiving.

oh i totally agree. I would have to imagine that a good chunk of the people buying this crap are looking to buy in cheap and flipping for a large profit to the uneducated and naive,

The guy who bought it for $350 had to know that the ACE cert is barred by ebay. That is why he went to Global.

This is one big Ponzi scheme. Not quite Bernie Madoff levels but certainly at the level of the Tulip Mania in The Netherlands in the 17th Century.
One item can pass through the hands of half a dozen scammers, each marking it up, before a know nothing person winds up with it at a high price, thinking it has a COA, how could it be bad? And I can send little Julie to college if I hold it for 12 more years.
The roster of pathetic criminals in this business just grows every day. What is scary is that the outlets they avail themselves of is also growing every day. The auction site pointed out by Travis was news to me. These type places seem to be springing up like weeds every day.
They also had a Ruth baseball box signed, a Harry Heilmann ss ball, a Lou Gehrig signed twice ledger page, all selling for a few hundred dollars. All with the usual cast of COA's.

I just received an e mail from Steve @ Global and was told that the Clemente ball was taken out of their system, despite the fact that I had been told all those stories about museum curators, a big collector in Puerto Rico who had the ball and that Chris wishes he had that kind of collection, etc.
I told Global that we will be watching them.
And btw - they don't think much of Net54 people.

LOL....I hold no hard feelings towards them . I certainly appreciate ya'll keeping an eye on things though...probably a tad bit more than they do. They really should come over to the bright side instead of where they are mired.

Those who are mired in the muck rarely if ever come over to the bright side.
They feel much more comfortable in the muck and mire.

"Taken out of the system." Really? That ball was removed by Ebay and it will be sold to someone else on another platform other than Ebay.

I also heard that Sipe didn't like my article about the Global Authentics certed Derek Jeter autographed bats, jersey and baseballs that I exposed recently.

Those were recently removed by Ebay also and I am certain they will be sold elsewhere, but they weren't removed from the system.

When Sipe wrote that the Clemente ball "was taken out of the system" I think he meant that it was removed from their Global Authentics Cert Check Database. The number on the cert GV 666192 is no longer in the GA database.
