Chris,  Do you know the really sad thing?   The buyer of this ball could have gotten an authentic signature of Mantle on a baseball for probably another 20 or 30 bucks.  So in order to save a few bucks he now has a 2.00 baseball with a worthless signature.  Just another idiot.

Exactly my point, Charles, for posting the result of this auction.

I guess that COA on Resume paper really boosted the buyers confidence

I really have to believe that the people buying garbage like this are really idiots, or, they are very aware of what they are buying and they will flip it elsewhere for a profit.

Chris, look at my 2 most recent postings.  There is now way in hell those buyers planned to flip the item.  I know football autographs perhaps better than PSA authenticators.  As we talked about on youtube a long time ago, I use to authenticate for GAI.  I know you don't have any respect for GAI and rightfully so, but at the time I was with them they were actually pretty legitimate.  That place went to the pits when Mike Baker got there.  At any rate, look at my most recent postings.  If people will buy those autographs.......THEY WILL BUY ANYTHING!
