Mickey Mantle baseball, any reason to think this is a fake?

Fake news??? Please... I can read, I saw plenty of thumbs up, then thumbs down. Same ball, two different outcomes.... fake would mean that I made that up, pretty sure you can read too

I can see all aspects of this discussion. However, if as some of the authenticators do, the UDA process is an in-person signing only LOA, then this exercise does seem a bit futile. It is kind of like saying "I got this autograph in person (myself), do you think it's real?"

Uda saw the ball thru an email, and still accepted it. It's not like I bought it from uda

And the jsa letter came with the ball...

I thought UDA always stickered the ball?

Fake news means distorting and spinning, which you are. People reached different opinions because a much better photo became available, not because they are slavishly following the JSA opinion as you imply.

I never implied, your just upset I asked for opionions on a ball that had certs, never of which I got in person, so to ask for more help is reasonable. Your fake news suggestion is ridicuous!

Stickers can be printed... easy as that....

I also want to make this very clear, I'm not here to upset anyone or piss people off. I come to this site because I Do respect a lot of opinions on here. I think some of you guys are better than having a coa. I especially want to apologize for singling out Chris before, a lot of other guys commented giving the thumbs up, I used Chris because in my honest opinion, I hold him to a higher standard, along with a few others in here, he's one of the best. Any day of the week I would trust him with a jeter over jsa or psa. He's done amazing work helping with forgeries. So if your reading this thread, I'm sorry for singling you out. I get that the pictures are different, it just scared me that some of the best guys on here were off because of the picture. I reposted for the sole purpose of getting more opinions, that's why I left that out to start. I'm not an expert, was by far the most expensive ball I bought, I don't think I'm wrong with getting as many opinions as I can. I know you guys will say differently, but for me it's just comforting.

The Upper Deck is a patented hologram, can't just be "printed".

Wrong. More fake news from you. I couldn't care less if people ask about an item that is already certed.

I'm irritated because you threw dirt on Chris Williams, one of the finest and most selfless people in the hobby. You can't begin to imagine the garbage he has endured because he's had the guts to go after lowlife criminals.

He has offered THOUSANDS of correct opinions here and elsewhere with an extremely high accuracy rate. Yet, if he makes a rare misstep, someone will crawl out of the woodwork to highlight it. That person is you.
