So I'm looking to buy something from seller "Ballparkco". He is on both eBay and Amazon, and also has his own website. He sells a mixture of items with JSA, PSA, and smaller name COAs. My question is this: are his items from other smaller companies legit in your opinion? My specific item comes with a COA from "ENC Collectables". In his reviews, one other person said they took their item to JSA and it was legit. What are your thoughts?

Hi,

You need to post the signature in question or link the auction or at least the item #. Any company, entity or individual can make an error, so I do not see much sense in saying "this place or that coa" - without looking at the signature. True, some "infamous" certs/names suggest the item is a forgery, but is another story. The rush makes me nervous, and you are telling me you saw something in his feedback that was legit...that really says nothing about your situation. I don't look at feedback much. At best it means someone got something in the mail.

Hi,

I'll try to lend a hand.  Can you post the exemplars you are using? There appears to be relatively little online.

BTW, I am working with 1.5 eyes at the moment from an injury. Why doesn't seller show this photo proof? Other sellers are selling the same sort of item, with PSA/DNA, for the same price (seller has 2 basketballs, the one with the number)?

Hello,

Hopefully some others will chime in - I really ought not do I am sorry - my enthusiasm is greater than my eyesight at the moment. It doesn't seem remotely a scarcity, I see no reason to feel rushed here, and there are examples certified by the larger TPG's closed with best offers being accepted in the range of $ you are looking to spend.

I looked at the seller's eBay listings. The one thing consistent about the items is that the seller says, over and over again, they include "proof". Except, there is never any proof! Do you have to buy an item to get the "proof"? Photo proof is dubious to begin with, unless the item can be unquestionably identified in the photo. Which isn't easy.

I'm not saying everything the seller has is bad. But I wouldn't buy anything from them.

They have a Michael Jordan Olympic jersey for $1,000. Again, with the promise of proof. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MICHAEL-JORDAN-AUTOGRAPHED-JERSEY-OLYMPICS-...

Why on earth would you list a $1,000 item (of any kind) and claim you have "photo proof", but not post the proof?

I will gladly sell you a bridge for $1,000. Once you send me the money, I will show you proof I own it.

+1.

Hi again,

TradeGeek is correct - exact photographic proof is not easy.

Here is what I consider acceptable "photo proof". The item is in the photo and you can match the signature as shown in the inserted crop at top right (click for whole image):

Best wishes,
