Yeah, I'd tell the poor lady that it is a typical forgery meant to deceive. From the picture of Dimaggio smiling (which he rarely did while signing), to the B & J fake cert. I have never seen a real ball sold with that pic or that cert.

Also, the "Gene Budig" balls are very rare for him to have signed, IMHO. Despite having a 3 year period to do so.

Here is a good picture of a couple of real ones from that time period. Also, his Name was Joe, Not Jai.

Save the poor lady the 100 -150, or whatever JSA is charging these days.
