Feel free to check out all of the other "signed" baseballs. Many are clearly written (poorly) by the same hand. I send them an email indicating that they are all terrible forgeries and asking if the have someone on task to prevent such from entering the auction and market. This is the reply I get:
"These sports items are consigned by a long time sports collector who purchased them over a period of time. Most do not have a COA so we are selling "AS IS" with no guarantees. We believe them to be original, but we are not Authenticators of Autographs. Thanks. "
Over a period of time, my ass.
Some in the auction are good... but here are some REALLY bads:
