CMG Worldwide was very interested in these items.
(manager of Babe Ruth estate).

I spoke to a woman in their California office in the Legal Affairs Dept and she said she will be forwarding my information to their General Counsel and sports director.

If there are only a couple of these "art" pieces I doubt the Ruth estate would pursue any legal action. If someone tried to mass-produce them there would probably be a cease-and-desist letter in the fax machine within minutes.

I've always had a soft spot for those facsimile team balls. Maybe the time has come for a legitimate, properly licensed, but clearly-differentiated-from-the-real Ruth replica that sells for twenty bucks. It'd be a lot better--and cheaper--than a lot of the Ruth baseballs that are displayed on mantels.

These are a bit different, as they look like they originally came from Coach's Corner, and are now on Ebay (being sold as replicas). So it is perhaps the reverse scenario of those posted above.

Equally disturbing though, is that these could be purchased cheap and resold as originals. Most of us would not be fooled by them (as they are pretty bad) but there are plenty of vulnerable collectors out there lacking knowledge, and looking for a deal.

Ebay should really ban all of these "replica balls" immediately....

What a pathetic person this guy is. "Hey world, I am a lousy forger but I still think some suckers will buy my sh--".
What a joke those baseballs are. What a joke that seller is.

Expect some Jim Thorpe replicas soon as it looks like he's purchased some Thorpe photos. Interesting also that one of his purchases was a universal fit handcuff key. Maybe anticipating the future?

Ebay should either ban replicas period or they should make a separate category for replicas in ALL areas. Look up "Baseball" in cabinet photos and you will see a majority of them are repro crap that the seller is being coy about.
