500 HR Club Signed Pictures on eBay....

Allen

I have noticed these are going really cheap lately. Is something up here? I know some sellers offer those high quality reproductions, are people afraid that since the Score Board Certs. do not have anything tying them to the actual item that people are swaping them or something? I can't see these selling for so cheap. I mean there is one from a seller with high feedback with BIN $450 and starting bid of only $300 ending today with no bids! Had I not just dropped big coin on a MJ auto I would be all over this. I mean how can something signed by Mantle, Williams, Aaron, Mays, etc. be so cheap?



$199

$299

Wow, can't believe it!

If they are going for these prices, I'm definitely going to be searching for one! That is, when I get a job after this darn lay off

These are the originals and not some lithograph, right?

Isnt there some question about the authenticity of Score Board material?

I used to own a bunch of Score Board autographed baseballs that I sold
about 6-7 years ago. The thing with the COA back then was that people were
just xeroxing them. When I was selling them back then, I always received questions
if they were the original COA with the watermarks on the back. Kind of like a check.
All of mine were the original COAs with the watermarks. I wished I had kept them
with PSA grading balls now. All of my baseballs were super white with clean autos on the
sweet spot. I had a lot of HOFers and modern players like Bonds, Maddux, Piazza, etc.
Oh well.

Back around 1990 the Scoreboard had just about everyone under agreement - guys signed a ton of stuff.

IMO, the early stuff with their COA is good. Having said that, if those items carried the PSA/DNA COA, they would be getting bids.

Those look good and probably a good gamble - especially if snagged at 199$.

I have never seen these unsigned anyways. That would be a lot of hard work to forge so many HOF sigs on one flat item like that.

If you send something like that into PSA for authentication, they charge by the autograph correct?

If these things were sold correctly with appropriate titles they would be selling for over $1000.00, as long as they could prove the COAS had the correct water marks. I have only seen a few of these pop up in the past year so it's weird to see 2 of them being sold at about the same time.

About scoreboard COAS, I have around half a dozen signed baseballs still and I made sure all of them had the water marks right after I bought them on the bay several years ago. It was really easy for people just to print them up so there was a lot of speculation about the authenticity.

I woudn't buy anything on ebay with the scoreboard COA. That was the only place to get DiMaggio balls back in the day but the COA is easily reproduced. Over the years I obtained several autographs with the scoreboard COA and I now deem them to be fakes and the autographs worthless. My personnal opinion.

300.00 to forge 11 names is NOT a lot of hard work. Ken Goldin and anything of worth do not go hand in hand. There are more certificates for these posters that have been copied than there are actual posters. Pick yourself up a pile of certificates, get ya a pile of unsigned posters from the tons that went unsigned (and copied), put one on ebay every couple of weeks, and you have just opened yourself up a profitable business.........

I had some Scoreboard stuff that I got in a big lot I purchased. I had every last piece authenticated by GAI or PSA and it was all real.

I will say the first link (the item that sold for $406) looks legit, the one that sold for $299, doesn't look right. All of the autos' have some peculiar inconsistencies with them IMO.

gregmadduxfan

I also think the one that went for $406 looks legit. Look at what the seller is selling off, they do not know anything about sports, they didn't even spell Maddux right on the jersey they had.

Allen

Interesting that you guys think that about the $406 one. I had emailed that seller with a detailed series of question about the item, the COAs watermark and if he had bought the piece directly....

tojem109 is the seller.

It doesn't have the watermark, I am not the owner, I am selling it for a customer. Thanks >>



Seems they know what the watermark is and where to look for it, yet they don't care that is not there.

envoy98

I'll have to check my scoreboard coa with the Bonds 8x10 I had GAI authenticate. It was the only piece that I brought the cert with (only because it was in the plaque with the photo) and Justin from GAI commented that the "COA was even real", which I never thought about much before he mad that remark. I'll look and see if it has a watermark, I've never checked.
