Is it real or not

Travis, if you can read and I know that you can. I said it sucks. How much more clearer can I make it.
You also missed the point. I am saying what you believe is what you should go by and no one else should change your mind. Is that clear. Please just say yes or no.

TPA aside, if someone presented me this ball for sale I would not buy it. Quite a few things off from what I usually look for.

Scott, well spoken for a coffe adict. Yes or no.

I'll go with no. Not because of anything I see on the autograph, I'm glad I'm not seriously into them because with some I just don't see the stuff you guys talk about.

But that ball......Looks cheap and new. Like a very inexpensive ball written on and tossed around the backyard a while, and recently at that.

I think the "smells like a setup" mindset is because there have been so many of those "gotcha" threads lately, usually starting in exactly this fashion. Kind of like if you always use the newspaper to spank your dog, you might expect Fido to wince when you pick up The Times, even if he's done nothing wrong.

It also doesn't help that Shelly was the one who started the thread rather than an autograph newbie/novice who is more likely to be actually seeking advice.

This piece was at an estate sale on Sunday in Orange county Ca. It had other nice items in the sale as well. I did not like it but at $1800 if some of the big boys came on here and said ok. I might have bought it. I thank you for your help. I passed on it this morning.

Huh? OK, now I'm confused.



To answer your question. It is definitely, absolutely, 100% real, because it surely isn't imaginary!

However, I don't think it is authentic.

I must admit that I did contract myself. I wanted other peoples opinion. I was asked what I thought and I had to say what I thought of the piece. I should never had said if some of the big guys came on and said yes I would change my mind. I thought it was bad and I glad most everyone agreed. I would never have bought it plain and simple.
