The first link sold on 4/24/2015

The second one posted on at the latest 4/29/2015

In addition, the first fake had a quick judgement from AMA without a date of course.

The second has a Certificate of Authenticity from AMA on 4/13/2014

Not that it matters about the cert's. AMA is complete garbage.
I reported the current listing, and the other AMA certified auto of Cobb he has on there. Not that it will do any good. I reported them Friday afternoon and they are still up.

AMA's Business address is a house and their phone number is a Google Voice number. I checked their facebook page where they have a link on their website homepage to like us. Their last comment on facebook was posted in 2011. Sounds like a legit business to me. NOT!!!

Tony, great post.

Ebay doesn't care about this crap. In my opinion, all they care about is the profits from the sales of forgeries.

exactly Christopher. Ebay used to have a program where items like this would be removed quickly. But it cut into their profits so it is no longer in existence.

So what are you saying? You don't think Ebay will take it down? I gave them plenty of proof as to why it should be taken down. It seems to me, if they don't take it down, wouldn't they be liable? Who or where do you report this to if Ebay isn't going to do anything about it? It is absolutely ridiculous that Ebay would still allow someone to keep listing fake autographs after they have already taken some down from the same person. In addition, they have taken down numerous fakes authenticated by AMA, but still there are multiple listings up right now with their authentications. Just sad...

Ebay doesn't care.

They continue to allow GFA (Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators) certed forgeries to sell every day; I've seen forgeries with COAs on their own Banned COA List sell.

Ebay doesn't care, but I will continue to expose Ebay sellers of forgeries.

Keep up the good work, Tony.

All we can do is to continue what we've been doing.

Here is a link to the original listing of the Babe Ruth listing by seller b7312. It was actually listed at the same time the one by superbrestorations1 was listed. How is this possible? Whoever bought the one from superbrestorations1 had to of seen the one from b7312. It is so easy to see that they are the exact same autograph. I am by all means no expert. I am not even a novice. I used to collect autographs as a kid. When it was fun. It has become too much of a business.

It really is a disgrace, Ebay lets its customers get robbed and ripped off every single day and does nothing except profit off of it! What a terrible situation and only those in the know and care even realize this. Ebay is a galaxy of forgeries (I used to say sea).
