Comment by VolFins on April 13, 2013 at 12:08pm: I never thought of it that way, that makes perfect sense. Ebay kinda threw me off a little bit because there's an autographed ball of his listed for 200 bux, NOT happening. Which one did you look at ? Both or just one ?

Comment by Jeffery Kite on April 12, 2013 at 4:51pm: Rhonda, I think the Luis Polonia is OK. I compared it to a JSA example off of ebay, and they both compared well to each other. Also, a dealer friend of mine once told me that there is no money in these nominal players enough to forge a ball. Forgers are going to forge big ticket items that most people are looking for - Mantle, Williams, DiMaggio, Ruth, Aaron, etc.

Comment by VolFins on April 12, 2013 at 3:40pm: Is there a service that renders quick opinions on non auction items ? I LOVE PSA's QO and wear them out, but there are a few lesser known autos for sale on a couple of sites that I would like to have checked out. Thanks ! Here are the sites with the item pics and I would appreciate your input. My gut says they're crap, especially from HOF just because I've heard on here that they're shady, but just on the off chance one of them may be real......

Comment by Jet Jackson on March 28, 2013 at 12:08pm: American Memorabilia is at it again on Ebay showcasing a new extremely questionable Stevie Ray Vaughan (one of my favorites) signature. Fans who may wish to see it on ebay, here is the # : # 151018416467

They are asking 1300 for this alleged signature. I personally would not give 13 cents for this one.

Comment by Adam Richard Utz on January 10, 2013 at 7:13pm: Ok thanks guys ,

Comment by Bill Morris on January 10, 2013 at 6:18pm: Adam, I agree. All the sports autographs in that auction I would not get near at any price.

Comment by Steve Zarelli on January 10, 2013 at 4:02pm: These are all known forgery styles that come from Florida.

Comment by Adam Richard Utz on January 10, 2013 at 2:42pm: also on same auction is this Mike Schmidt http://auctionadvantagemn.smugmug.com/Other/This-Weeks-Auction/2076...!i=2313570283&k=pFpHFnp

Comment by Adam Richard Utz on January 10, 2013 at 2:36pm: A local auction house near me has weekly auctions I attend only when there are autographs heres a page to a Hank Aaron what are your thoughts ? http://auctionadvantagemn.smugmug.com/Other/This-Weeks-Auction/2076...!i=2313551863&k=tHSCxDw
