    Seriously Ranger, unless it has a certificate that one can live with like PSA, GAI, Steiner, ASI etc., I don't think it is worth the chance IMO.

  • I agree with Mike on this one. The fact that the seller didn't even spell Harmen or McCovy's name right doens't set well with me either.

    Would PSA authenticate a ball like that? I have a ball with many HOFers signatures like that one. I personally obtained the signatures in the 1980's when a lot of ball players did the card show circiut signing autographs. If PSA does authenticate them, maybe I will send mine in.

    The certificate/organization is bogus but what really gives it away is that there even isn't an address or phone number attached to it. What good is a guarantee where you couldn't contact the guarantor?

    As James points out, the quick opinion is worth the dime if you are seriously interested. The COA listed is flabby. Looking at the auto's versus what I have obtained in person - they look legit on some key one's - Williams, Mantle, Mays, Robinson, Mathews, Banks, Jackson. The Aaron and McCovey look a little different. Killebrew is fastidious in his sig, but may have crammed it in if Mathews was already on the panel. IMO. Regards.
