Unnecessary. Not cool. Go away.

Furthermore, if I had just described these as Clubhouse Signatures as several people have suggested, that is not necessarily a transparent term to everyone. I myself thought that that meant that the ball was signed "in the Clubhouse" by the players. It wasn't until after I bought the ball that I realized what that meant.

So, by simply saying Clubhouse Signatures in the title, that doesn't really inform many people who don't know the term anything. Instead, I just said "signed ball" in the title and then went on to describe what that means in the description. Seriously! You guys are seeing this the way you want to so you can gang up on me. No halfway-intelligent collector would have been mislead by my auction even as it was originally, before i added to the description. If you believe otherwise, you might not be halfway-intelligent yourself.

And with that, I'm done. I won't be checking this thread anymore. Good luck to all.

Directly from your description:

PSA has described these as clubhouse signatures which means some of the signatures may be secretarial. I personally believe most of these signatures are by the players themselves, but please do your own research

Even after you were told they were all (poor) forgeries/clubhouse signatures. I, thus, stand by my original assessment of a scumbag move.

Op, if you check this thread again, the fair thing to do would be to send any money you get for this ball to the guy you bought it from, up to what you paid anyway. That seller did you a nice favor refunding you and letting you keep the ball.

Modifying the description was helpful, but a heading stating clubhouse signatures is more descriptive, not less, for most people.

I do give you credit for modifying the description after being advised to do so, so I think you are trying to do the right thing, even if the execution was faulty.

I actually don’t have a problem with your listing now. I just would have had clubhouse in the first line, with an explanation of what that means. And I wouldn’t put in a personal opinion because it gives a buyer ammunition to seek a refund from eBay, claiming they were misled. They could buy the ball, go to JSA in hopes it passes, but then apply for a refund when it fails, claiming they were misled by your statement that you felt most of the signatures were good. eBay sides with the buyer so often, why improve their position.

This is the best idea and the right thing to do.
