Why are so many of their autographs SO BOLD? Look at all the Mathewsons, etc.

This one a BRAND NEW Giles Ball, and look how DARK the "Cy Young" signature is.

The ink is still wet on that one.

I've been sending emails to Ted Taylor and his replies crack me up. But I hit a nerve with him two weeks ago and he didn't reply. Below are the two questions I asked him.

1. But I have always wanted to ask you this question; Have you ever asked Trythall or Malack about the infinite inventory of vintage autographs they sell and that you and Morales authenticate?

This one really bothered Ted Taylor.

2. You're some Philadelphia Athletics historian, Ted.

How do you sleep at night, Ted? Tell me.

That thing has over $200 in bids. Pretty sad.

Can they squeeze in a Sig. On the threads of the ball. What a joke.

I got this from CC terms and conditions "WE GRADE THE CONDITION OF ITEMS VERY CONSERVATIVELY". They may grade conservatively, but they most certainly authenticate very liberally. Notice the caps in the terms and conditions. The entire page is in capitol letters.
