That skeezball Les from Hardcore Pawn is probably closer to reality. A shameless lowballer who offers $20 for a $300 item.

That's a rather loaded trivia question

I was hoping for a Joe Jackson auto that can be seen from 20 feet away!

Drew!!!!!!!......of course it's real.

Sigs were good, Rick overpaid. I wouldn't have paid more than $300 for that ball with intentions of "trying" to get maybe $500.

Value of $2k is a pretty big stretch...

That show is classic, like watching a train wreck in slo mo. Talk about a graphic example of reasons to stay out of Detroit and pawn shops generally.

A couple of quick things. First, of course that ball was not a 1919 blacksox ball. Two Hof players that played on that team, one of which was injured during the series, does not make it a blacksox ball. Also, Piet did not play on the Sox until the 30's and I suspect this was signed after his career so you're looking at late 30's early 40's on an unofficial ball. I bring this up more for the ball that Shoeless Moe has a link to in this thread. It's almost identical except for Lefty Williams on it. Am I the only one that's suspect of the Williams sig on that ball? Doesn't make sense that he'd sign it based on when it would have been signed...he was banned from baseball, he should have already stopped barnstorming and probably already moved to California to start his Nursery business. I also doubt he would have been hanging around with Schalk and Faber. Any thoughts?
