wow....thanks

And I have to repeat this,,, the ball has been reported to ebay many times, from the original seller and from the current seller. Ebay has done nothing.
WHY??

Most likely bc autographs and sports cards are such a small part of their business and such a major source of aggravation that they have decided to let it ride. Not saying it's right but in reality they don't care.

Jeff - if you are right the harm that will come to our hobby will be irreparable.

Assuming for one moment this could possibly be real, who in their right mind would put an ugly, meaningless sticker from Drew Max / AAU on a ball signed by Ruth, Gehrig and Cobb?

Richard, I don't disagree with you and I also don't think ebay gives a sh#t about the autograph hobby.

Ebay has removed this listing.

I have no doubt the seller and buyer (Profe920) will be contacting the original seller (turtle_t38).

This will be interesting.

This is the point I made in the bigger EMR thread that Richard started. Look at all of the politics that are bounced around here on this board when discussing autographs. Look how hard it can be for even the best professionals in the field to come together and agree on opinions (which are usually all we have to go on) and even opinions of those paid to give opinions. How hard must it be for eBay employees who don't know or care about autographs? It's a minefield. It seems to make total sense for eBay to let the headaches go away and the buyer beware. Do I like it? Nope. Does it seem a natural progression? yep.
