What a beauty...

How did they miss AL?




This ball didn't come from the Annex memorabilia collection, did it?

Seems suspect with no COA, and the seller has zero feedback.  Even if I had the flow to drop $2,500 on a ball, I would stay away.

Aside from the question of authenticity (not to mention the aforementioned zero feedback)...

Two lines of text in the description, didn't capitalize Milwaukee in the item location field, no narrative on how this was procured (or where it's been for the last 32 years), didn't include a picture of Al's autograph (probably the most verifiable of them all), etc.

Even if I was convinced this was authentic, I would only drop $2500 on this if I was purchasing from a reputable dealer.  There's just way too much bogus autographed memorabilia floating around the web these days.

And also, like someone bored in class (or conferences/seminars/what have you) colored in the 'P' 'A' and 'D' on SPALDING...

EDIT:  And if you're interested, it looks like he's selling a GI Joe collection and an antique barber chair...

If he's got a McGuire autograph on that barber chair, I'm buying it.

I'm amused that the seller's name is "Hawaii2009Kevin".  Looks like someone is trying to raise $5000 to pay for a trip to Hawaii.

If he knows where the ball comes from, he'd be smart to offer up an affidavit and guarantee of authenticity.  That's worth just as much as the bogus certificates of authenticity that shady dealers offer with their obvious forgeries (if not more).
