This cancer is really growing quickly. Now Probstein123, and ebay power seller is listing a horrible forgery of a McGwire/Sosa signed ball with a fake Steiner cert. And because it is a powerseller with a very high feedback rating, and because the Steiner name, at least for now, is still equated with authenticity, this piece of garbage is actually attracting interest.

Here is an authentic Mac/Sosa ball from the Steiner site:
Here is the junk being listed by Probstein123:
Even a novice collector can tell the difference. Numerous attempts have been made to alert Steiner to this rapidly growing forgery issue. We can only hope that behind the scenes, they are trying to do something about it.

I highly doubt that the seller was directly responsible for the fake cert. Likely that somebody decided to capitalize on the Steiner name to peddle their junk. Looks like it is working so far.
Having studied Sosa and Mac signatures for over 15 years, I would say that this is one of the worst forgeries I have seen. It is truly pathetic.
Let's be honest here, though.
This seller is a consignment seller. They don't care what it is or where it comes from--if they can make money off it, they'll take it & sell it.
They don't even put item descriptions on their stuff.
Anyone dumb enough to buy from them deserves to get ripped off.
