Then there's this 1919 "Black Sox" ball authenticated by Morales.

Coach's Corner sold it for $2800.

Antiquities of California (in San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf) sold it for$10,000, claiming it came from Joe DiMaggio's estate--his personal collection (http://joedimaggioestate.com/mlb/nyyankees.html). After we showed the buyer where it really came from, Antiquities CA owner, Brian Eyck was "shocked", claimed he had no idea who Chris Morales was until he read what the buyer pointed him to, and gave the collector a refund. 

Besides being ridiculous forgeries, Chick Gandil is signed "Gandill".

The only Black Sox ball I know of sold for $93,000 in around 2000...but Coach's Corner and Morales seem to see one they like several times a year.

Isn't the excuse " I don't know who morales is" or "I have never seen any items Morales has certified" a little over-used?

You might think that, Brandon, but it's not. What we always hear is that he's the one to believe because he's "court approved" and they wave his so-called credentials. And they say that PSA/DNA, JSA, Epperson are not, have conflicts of interest, bad reputations, are out to get Morales, etc. And then the users of Morales and other similar Forensic Document Examiners send people to Autograph Alert, Autograph News Live and Behind the Gavel (which Jerry Gladstone closed after he settled with Frank Caiazzo).

Jerry Gladstone is such a worthless peace of crap its unbelievable. I love how in the video when he is shown to be a disgusting forger how he puffs his chest out and tries to act like billy bad a** and attempt to defend his name. Promptly to be put in his place by the judge as the piece of white trash he truly is!
