As I was searching "Sold" auctions on Ebay for "500 Homerun Club" forgeries, I came upon the below set of "500 Homerun Club" forgeries on a baseball sold by Ebay seller MrPudential for $721.00.

I was shocked that such obvious and laughable forgeries would sell for so much money.

I've seen that-style set of "500 Homerun Club" forgeries hundreds upon hundreds of times and they usually sell in the $300.00 range.

But after reading the auction description I realized why they sold for such a high price.

According the Ebay seller MrPrudential the below st of "500 Homerun Club" forgeries came from the private collection of Ed Kranepool (NY Mets fame).

If these really did from the private collection of Ed Kranepool, then it is unfortunate that Mr. Kranepool owned these set of forgeries. 

If the aforementioned is true, then the people who were bidding on the below set of forgeries, and the eventual winner, simply bid on the below forgeries because they came from Ed Kranepool and nothing else.

These are horrid forgeries that we've seen sold on Ebay hundreds of times.

If these were to be submitted to BAS, PSA, SGC or JSA, they would be deemed forgeries in one second.

What a waste of $721.00.

Here are those "500 Homerun Club" forgeries sold by EBay seller MrPrudential for $721.00.
