Another beauty forensically examined (he has the forensic report) by Christopher L. Morales, Forensic Investigator.

A Christy Mathewson. Yeah, a collector owns a authentic Christy Mathewson autographed baseball and they consign it to Coach's Corner Auctions. Yeah right.

"shows off nicely from 15 feet away!"

Is that the new standard viewing distance for forensic examinations...?

"It can be read from over 10 feet away"

Guess the Matty warranted closer inspection

Where do they get all these vintage baseballs? Isn't the supply limited?

Not to mention Chris that the Signature looks like it was just signed a few days ago (which it WAS Im sure). And wow, he even had the foresight to date and add an inscription. It must have been from one of the signings Matty did at a local card show.

None of these 100+ year old signatures ever exhibit any fading. They must have been hermetically sealed and kept in a cool dry place for all these years.

There are no "Limited Edition" products at Coach's Corner Auctions. The Coach's Corner consignors have "private signings" with Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig, Mathewson, Cy Young, Walter Johnson, Joe DiMaggio, Joe Jackson, Mike "King" Kelly, Ed Delahanty, etc., on a monthly basis. They also have "private autograph sessions" annually with George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Amelia Earhart, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, etc.

Is there a good way to "clean" a recent signature from an otherwise-nice vintage ball?

I know Christopher, the whole thing is ridiculous....but I actually meant where do they find all these blank vintage baseballs to add the signatures to? I do occasionally see vintage baseballs offered in auctions, but they need to acquire a pretty big supply of them to fill up their auctions. How many blank ones are out there?
