This is awesome. Lee claims this basketball is signed by 15 of the greatest players ever. All are forgeries of course, but Lee says they were all show obtained in person by longtime collector Harry Beideman. Couple questions Lee....Who is Harry Beideman and is he responsible for consigning this basketball? Also, how did Mr. Beideman get Jordan's signature on the basketball at a show when Michael has not done ANY public signing since March 1985?

I like how this one has Morales's email address on it & how they promote him as a "Secret Service Special Agent." WTF does that have to do with autographs? I think they forgot to take down the date this Ruth was born...January 24, 2013.
