A plastic baseball that records a short message from the player instead of being signed.

My prediction is this will not take over the hobby or replace real signed baseballs. LOL

I don't know Steve.  I think it would be a nice addition to the balls as part of the GFA authentication process.  the voice would say "you have just been screwed out your hard earned cash!"

I love it. Sometimes people think they have a new idea, but it's really just the same crappy idea that didn't work many times before. Example...

In 2000 Upperdeck releases Powerdeck. Why not release a product that replaced baseball cards with mini CD roms?

15 years later, they are available on EBay for about $1 each. And that's if it's a star player. Why? Ask any kid who collects baseball cards if they want a Ken Griffey Jr CD rom. What will they say? "What's a CD Rom?"
