This is a forgery. Zero chance it is authentic.

Google the company. The owner was under FBI investigation and was charged for wire fraud with running a $2.5 million dollar fraud scheme around forgers sports memorabilia. Pops up on page 1. He apparently ran multiple schemes under different names.

In the autograph world the presumption of innocence is kind of tossed out the window. It is so hard and takes so long to get law enforcement to go after forgery dealers that when they do look at them and go as far as charge them you can bet they had a mountain of evidence to do so.

Thanks. They are headed to the trash. Lesson learned.

Yeah it sucks. Pujols value on a ball has dropped significantly over the last few years. You can pick up an authentic one for about 1/4th the price that he once was.
