its better if you provide the actual links, or photos.  most of us won't bother to try to search ebay using item numbers.  Stay with Steiner, PSA or JSA and you will be ok on Kershaw.

Avoid GA like the plague on Kershaw. I have a pretty good eye on Kersh, if you post pictures or links. I looked at a couple of these and they were way overpriced. You should not have to pay $150+ for a Kersh ball. At one point last year Steiner had some for $75 I believe.

Keep in mind that Kersh does NOT sign on the sweet spot unless it is at an official signing or for Steiner. GA forgers have taken note of this as well. Authentic Kershaws will typically be side paneled at the top, and often in sharpie. Do not even THINK about buying one "certified" by GA, they have Kershaw forgeries by the boatload. Your best bet is to find a Steiner sweet-spot one on sale.

After a quick scan there is not much of a selection on eBay right now. Here is a no doubt authentic IP one for $115:

Nice ball. As a tip, there are little "flicks" after the "L" and the first "4" (lol) that forgers never get right. It is present on both I posted as well as yours. It's similar to what Joe D has at the end of his "e" in Joe quite often.

His sweet spot Steiners tend to look like that. I think it's because he's used to signing so much smaller. He takes his time even IP and rests it on his leg and signs it very carefully.
