What do you think of this DiMaggio ball?

If PSA did not authenticate it are they aware that Heritage uses the PSA name to verify an autograph?
Something really stinks here if PSA did not examine this autograph.

And I know some can make a stink that there is very little money involved in this item, but lets multiply that by who knows how often this might occur.
Heritage are you just slapping a PSA COA on any item you choose to, without any examination at all? If so, why is PSA allowing that?
We know that people from Heritage read this forum as they have responded to prior threads. I think perhaps some answers are in order now.

Very valid points,

Is it live or is it memorex? When is an item at heritage inspected and issued an loa or precertification, and when is it not?

they dropped the ball and i would love to hear an explanation too, but they have to come up with one first that they think will fly.

Let's hear it heritage!

And how does someone know for sure that psa did not authenticate that ball? It says so right on the auction listing, and it is not a 'preview' item, but a live item open for bidding. You have to take a listing at face value. It says precertified by psa, so it's precertified by PSA.

Chris Ivy said that the 'preview' items, that are not for sale, carried the phantom LOA's, not live items. This is a live item. So what is the excuse this week?
