No one has an opinion on this fake?

Looks like a common ACE/GAI forgery.

the signature is a fake, and I think the PSA sticker is also fake.  whoever is selling this is a typical ebay scammer

Looks like PSA/DNA might have blown this one. The authentication number shows to match this Rivera autograph baseball on their web site.

I dont think the perpetrator would be dumb enough to use a cert number that didnt match a mariano signed baseball. I still think its questionable.  the sticker looks too big.

It specifies a gold stitched Selig baseball on their web site which matches this item.  Looks more likely that they indeed authenticated this ball.

Do they actually reply?  What do they usually say?  Genuinely curious.  This is a pretty common fake to have slip through.

I have helped PSA/DNA out with scammers in the past and have spoken with Joe Orlando several times. Hopefully I will get a response. 

My guess:

1. Fake PSA/DNA cert

2. This slipped through before this forgery style became super popular

I agree with Terrier. I also doubt if you hear anything from Orlando in this case.

I have a lot of confidence in PSA/DNA but it looks like this time they made a mistake and I think they are very unlikely to admit it.

It will be interesting to see if you get a response.
