Same deal except I have had this ball for a few years...Willie Mays

I received this as a gift several years ago..pretty sure it was off of qvc..don't quote me on that though.

It's a educational process and not that hard. Spend some time to learn how to buy safely--including getting opinions before you buy--and you can almost always avoid fakes.

Mike I posted like 50 different things, a few I pulled from packs as well as stuff I got from Spring training. I picked up some stuff from auctions as well. All in my photos or album...if you can't see them let me know- Thanks. Believe it or not I actually have tried to avoid autographs.

Mike what did you think of the Ryan ball...did you see the link I posted on the auction...they had more stuff /signed including Aaron and Mays ...they had another COA , the shop may have actually been in Strasburg not too far from the auction...

I am going to have to check and see what came with both balls...I don't think the Ryan ball came from the same place as the Mays-btw...I think your Howard is real...as if you needed me to mention it..

I used to mention the below article (excerpt from the Operation Bullpen book written by Kevin Nelson) about the Home Shopping Channels from the 1990's.
