Josh Gibson signed ball
 
I have a Josh Gibson signed baseball. Handed down to me. Haven’t had it certified but has been looked at by multiple experts.
$1600.00 firm. Taking Square and Venmo only.
Once paid will ship with tracking.

Update. Ok. I’ve tried multiple times to upload pictures. Keeps telling me upload has failed. I give up.
If you’re interested just PM me and I’ll send you pictures.
Sorry guys, I tried.

Saw the ball when it was posted on Facebook. Not a autograph expert but pretty sure it ain't legit. Also pretty big red flag selling a 30k plus baseball if legit for only $1,600.

Last time I posted, you called me a child. But I'm willing to look at your ball, please send me a scan at earlywynnfans5@hotmail.com

Hi,

Would love to have a ball owned by Josh Gibson but I agree with our partners on the Forum that it is a big red flag.

A Josh Gibson ball in 2017 sold for $36K at REA Auctions and todays market it would be even more.

1. it would make sense for you to get it authenticated for the money it would be worth to you
2. A picture is needed for any one willing to buy it so they can know what they are buying

I'm actually in the market for a ball signed by Genghis Khan if you have one of those as well.

Can we kick this clown to the curb already? He hasn't posted a legit item yet. Relative died, I don't know what I've got, I've inherited it, I can't post good photos. Chapter 1 of the scam artist's playbook. Thankfully nobody here has been dumb enough to bite, but give him enough time he might just find someone.

I'm just curious as to why you looked into who Josh Gibson was but stopped at researching the value of his autograph? Pretty serious ball if it were authentic.

maniac_73 07-19-2021 02:14 PM

His posting history here screams troll

Sounds to me like the experts said it was bad. It would explain why the ball isn't certified. If the ball is good, then would these experts look at it but not certify it?

Probable scammer and is gone. Thanks to the board member who alerted me to this thread. I think this one might have crawled under the door as I don't see good registration information on file. It is always buyer beware. The board isn't just a few hundred guys and girls, like it used to be.

Another joke item . Probably a CC special without even seeing a picture of it.

Thank you for everything you do to keep the marketplace safe here, it’s a great community, and it starts at the top.

I'm curious if anyone pm'd him and got pictures I would love to see what this Josh Gibson ball looked like. Maybe it was a Greg Marino special.

Here is the "Gibson" ball that is for sale, he posted in another FB thread. It was promptly taken down before anyone could purchase.

Seven 07-20-2021 07:48 AM

Yeesh :eek:

Other than looking nothing like Josh Gibson's signature, that ball looks like he bought it yesterday and threw it around in the dirt for a few hours.

egri 07-20-2021 09:56 AM

That looks like it was done in sharpie.

OP had only 11 posts, and tried to foist three different scams on the members here. That has to be some kind of record. :eek:
