It's always the other guy that has bad stuff, and if JSA gave my stuff a cert, it must be good, because JSA can't be wrong all the time, and if they have to be right sometimes, might as well be with MY stuff. my favorite quote

Get out your old letters, notes, yearbooks, checks, cards you've sent to people over the years, anything with your signature on it, and compare the signatures on those hundreds of pieces. Then hold a baseball,or football, or bat, or any other object and sign each of them. Do that a few thousand times over the course of a few months. Do it in a crowd, while you're walking, standing, sitting, talking to someone. Do it with different types of pens, different inks, and then compare all your signatures. See if all these signatures look the same. Big egos, big mistakes. Hey everybody, especially you pompous “authenticators”.

More Alleged Fakes & Frauds Flood The Hobby Courtesy Of Barry Halper, Rob Lifson, Jimmy Spence, SCP, Heritage, PSA/DNA & Coaches Corner by Chris J. http://haulsofshame.com/blog/?p=20318&cpage=1#comment-171675 Chris J. Wed, 22 May 2013 14:27:29 +0000 http://haulsofshame.com/blog/?p=20318#comment-171675 I find it fascinating how many of these new-looking, lilly-white 70+-year-old autographed balls have appeared over the past decade. Anyone who has collected autographed balls over the past few decades can tell that 99% of these are either fake or have been altered in some way - old baseballs simply don't age this way, and people back in the 1920s and 1930s didn't store autographed balls in plastic ball holders the minute after they got the signature, as people do today. So, how are people executing these fakes? Are they finding old baseballs at garage sales and getting them polished up? Or are the baseballs themselves fakes? I would like to see one of these balls - such as the Chance or Bresnahan above - cut open to see if the insides are vintage, or are of recent construction. If forgers in China can make old U.S. coins that can fool collectors, anything is possible. Chris.

Dillard http://haulsofshame.com/blog/?p=19877&cpage=1#comment-171635 Avis N. Dillard Wed, 22 May 2013 12:33:58 +0000 http://haulsofshame.com/blog/?p=19877#comment-171635 This story has been around the hobby for a long time and was just put into print. A recently published report has described in detail the facts about author Al Stump, Ty Cobb's biographer. It appears that Mr Stump was engaging in a massive forgery scam involving Ty Cobb signed items and memorabilia items. A number of the items in the market now originated from this scam. While there are many legitimate Ty Cobb items in the market now, I urge all to be wary when you buy a Ty Cobb item. Make sure you are buying from a knowledgable dealer or auction house. The items were originally brought to the market by Al Stump through a very well known former autograph dealer/authenticator. Mr Stump fooled him and he then in turn fooled others.
