Been on an autographed ball kick lately.

In my searches, I keep coming across this sellers auctions, where he is selling "facsimile" autographs.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/perfectgame...jvgAAOSwaB5XoUML&rt=nc&_trksid=p2046732.m1684

When I looked at the auction, actually all his auctions, it looks like a forger-in-training. He's practicing forging counterfeit autographs, although terribly, then selling them as "facsimile" autographs. This has to be against some kind of rule. I mean, even though he isn't trying to pass them off as real, his buyers couldn't possibly want these garbage fakes unless they had bad intentions. Also, why would you be practicing forging autographs unless one day, when they got good enough, you planned to try to pass them off as authentic.

Totally not okay, he is distributing counterfeit items.

Facsimile on balls is traditionally a computer or printed font not hand written with ballpoint pen - probably trying to break even for all the MLB balls he bought, forged sigs on and couldn't sell as "authentic"

Yup, I've seen them selling "facsimile" Mariano Rivera autos. Seller perfectgametreasures is a complete P.O.S. He also sells "real" autos of celebrities. Meaning they're fake he just doesn't say it.

If anyone ever needs an opinion on a Mariano auto just ask me.

Fortunately, looking at his completed auctions, 95% of his forgeries are not selling.
But the only way crooks like this can get kicked off of eBay is if lots of people report him, so hit the Report link and tell eBay to ban him.
