PSA ebay ball with numbers that don't match.
 

There is a Sandy Koufax ball on ebay;
http://www.ebay.com/itm/121077841072...84.m1423.l2649
but, the authentication number does not come up on the PSA site. I contacted the seller to see when he sent it for authentication but he had no idea. I personally don't like the autograph. What is the opinion here on it. He did not want me to post this when I offered.

Just look at that fugly S and it is obviously a weak hand that drew this autograph.

Bleccch.

How do we get ebay to end this auction since there are bidders on it now and the sellers response instead of coming here was to get opinions elsewhere.
thanks guys.

So I emailed the winner of this ball and showed him our concerns. He didn't respond to my question of the Steiner hologram missing, but he did call PSA and they looked into it and told him the ball and hologram was good.

Ken - he said to you that he called PSA, I would doubt the truthfulness of that statement. Some guys just don't want to know the truth, because when they try to resell a baseball they don't have to let their conscience bother them.
I doubt very much if PSA authenticated this crap and everyone knows how I feel about them. But sometimes I have to give them some credit.

When I first put the PSA numbers in nothing came up on their web site. Now when you do it it shows a PSA Opinion that the signature is good.

correction, that a signature is good.

Travis if youre picking on my grammar, don't. She is 97 years old tomorrow.

Obviously this PSA cert has no picture of the baseball.
I would not want it.

no i am not picking apart grammar, but if she said the ball has been verified online, we dont know that, we know a ball has been verified, not necessarily that ball. since psa does not picture the ball, and the cert does not picture the ball, we dont know if it is the same ball.

a favorite scam is to get an item like a signed baseball certed with a basic cert with no picture. then when abc company drops the ball and doesnt load a picture in their database or even take a picture of the ball to begin with, you simply switch baseballs and pawn off a bad baseball with the basic cert and point to the online certification as your proof it is real. of course there is no picture to verify that the original baseball that accompanied the basic cert is there, but they don't care. any hologram can claim to be lost, fell off or peeled from a baseball and stuck on another.

i was just saying that no picture tying that particular baseball to that particular cert = no proof.

now we dont know they did that for sure but we dont know they didnt either.
