well.....

As we saw with the Thomas Sayers boxing fiasco at heritage, they didn't even need exemplars to issue the certs. And heritage didn't need their certs to ultimately sell it either, they just stated that the certs coldn't be issued due to lack of exemplars (even though they were issued already but pulled after people complained). The auction house said abc and xyz still "believe" it to be authentic. How do they still believe it to be authentic, if not on the handwriting, then based on what?

That autographed piece was just as ridiculous as this babe ruth in my opinion, and it got the certs! How can the Sayers autograph not be as crazy as this babe ruth, when no one has seen a sayers autograph before, the first scribbled one that shows up is suppose to be good and get the certs from a couple of companies that issued them based on ?

go to the bottom article of this page for an eye opener.

exemplars? we don't need no stinking exemplars.

Yes, there is a chance that piece might be certed by a company whose first initial is "T" and whose last initial is "A." The aforementioned authentication company may actually purchase the piece. They'll frame it with wood from the Titanic, rub the ball with some dirt from Transylvania to age it and then he will list it for auction. The auction description might read "This ball was signed by The Babe for the secretary of Charles Lindbergh after Mr. Lindbergh arrived back from Paris on the USS Memphis......."

The great radio comedian Fred Allen's comments about television might apply to this situation:

"The reason it's called a medium is because nothing is well done."

I'm just amazed at the "custom" nail job exhibited by Vanna White in the photo. Where can I get my wife one of those? Yikes!!

Looks like those nails could give a great back scratching. That could be worth the opening bid.

15 minutes left, if someone doesn't bid on this item, she's not going to be able to maintain those nails.

Did the price just go up? I could've sworn it was a .99 auction before..

[frankbmd]

Back on my watch list, even though the price bump to $9.99 may be too high for a Ruth ball.

I guess all that publicity on Net54 was worth 9.00 .
