Looks like the Babe signed this one with a paint brush and shoe polish... yesterday.

the seller, Joe Dimaggio Estates, is offering several interesting items, including team signed Yankee and Red Sox baseballs.  all of which are disgusting forgeries.

True. Ralph Perullo did indeed buy the Dimaggio Estate but these forgeries did not come from it.

Looks like he is now using the Dimaggio name to peddle poor forgeries.

Go to the Joe Dimaggio Estate web site and you will find a terrible Mantle forgery for $495.

the ball has been pulled. I would guess it's worth at about a nickel.

Confirmed. Ball was pulled from eBay, I'm going to assume because of the exposure that came from the smart people on this board. Again, auction was not cancelled by seller, auction item was pulled from eBay.
