Did PSA/DNA really authenticate this signature?

Ilovebaseballcards

It makes me question their reputation in the industry.
How many others like this did they say were real?

I always hated sticker COAs. There's nothing to stop a guy from sending in a legit baseball, getting the sticker, moving the sticker to another baseball and re-sending the original ball in for another sticker.

I'm not saying that happened with the Bonds, just that I won't buy a sticker cert auto unless I would buy the same item with no COA at all.

description says signed in blue ink pen...looks like a black sharpie signature to me

All I can say is here is my Barry / Bobby Bonds autographed baseball I personally received in the late 1980's at a card show I was selling at.

Also, the description says a Bill White president baseball but the signature is a Bart Giamatti baseball? My ball is a Bill White as President.

I seem to remember reading on some previous thread that if you take the sticker off, the sticker becomes checkerboarded.

From the PSA/DNA FAQs...

"Q: Is the PSA/DNA sticker removable?
A: Yes. We use a tamper-evident label that can only be applied to an object once and cannot be reapplied to any other object. The label can be removed leaving very little or no residue, however, it is the visible indicator that the item has been certified by PSA/DNA. If you wish to prove certification after the label has been removed, PSA/DNA can re-issue a label and Certificate of Authenticity for an additional fee."

I like how he got the ball... "Traded a bowl of gumbo for it"

Ask for a copy of the L of A that should have come with it.

the seller is a power screwer, thousands of feedback and selling a boatload of other autographed stuff; why mess around with a fake Barry bonds ball (which should be worth $5)

what a pathetic attempt of a autograph of football head

The seller probably printed that on his own laser printer. Given that PSA says that cert. number is associated with a blue ink pen, it is not PSA's fault. No need to poof the thread -- just a reminder that due diligence includes using the cert checking tools PSA provides for just this purpose.

The same thing happened to me on a Corey Dillon Jersey a couple of years ago. Not PSA's fault, but a dirty seller's fault.

Recently had this one PSA/DNA certified. Looks NOTHING like the bogus item in the auction...
