Babe Ruths auto or Joe Jackson???

[mdschulze]

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with your description.... I'm curious to see what it sells for!

[Shoeless Moe]

back in Sept?

It's now being re-sold at Premier Auctions

Let's see what they get.

I see the "Jackson" but its such a rare sig and so few out there, I can't see why people would risk it. Plus, this one is beat to a bloody pulp

[bn2cardz]

Maybe it is just me but that looks like it could possibly be Jimmy Cooney. He made his debut in Sept 1917 with the Red Sox. I couldn't find any old Cooney signatures to compare to, but I am sure his auto in 1917 would not look the same as the 1980s samples I have been able to find.

I could be way off, I also am not an expert about autos. This is purely an assumption on the fact that it does look like there is a J..MY C...

Brock bought it on Ebay for I believe $90, re-sold it as a potential Joe Jackson signed ball for $500, now that winner has it up in the Premier Auction with a min bid of $500.

I can't see it going for much more then that, but ya never know.

And the way they have worded it as a ball signed by Joe Jackson seems a lil deceiving.

I think Brock did a nice job when he listed it, explaining exactly what it was and what the authenticators determined, but Premier is being a little dishonest.

Ok got ya

Yeah I saw that, but compared to other later autos it looks similar. I am wondering if an auto from a 22/23 year old in his first years in the majors would look different from one obtained later in his life.

Howard,

Yes and it was already called out as so in an earlier post.

[Shoeless Moe]

have asked questions that were answered in the previous post or two.

It's getting funny.

[yanks12025]

Let's see how many more people will ask if it's the same ball. lol

[doug.goodman]

I'm sorry, but that Premier description is flat out dishonest.

JSA's opinion is that they can't tell who, if anybody, signed the ball. Their opinion is that it might be a transcript of the Declaration of Independence written by Walter Johnson, but they don't know.

Congrats to Brock for finding a buyer, while being honest about the ball.

Shame on Premier, although I'm sure PT Barnum would be proud.

The winner most likely will put it with their piece of toast with the Virgin Mary on it.

Totally agree with this post, very shady IMO.

. . . where in the absence of conclusive evidence (PSA-DNA, JSA opinion), the original (consignor's opinion) call stands on the field (auction company venue).ed

I've certainly have the college football bowl season this past month.

Why is a no opinion something to point to in the auction as something positive? Millions of us have no opinon on the ball. But spence's no opinion carries weight?

My prediction - you will see this ball get an LOA in the near future.
