Hi There GUU,
I am not trying to break any baseballs here . But I can't figure out how to add a freaking link.... Anyway the autograph world needs your help ... I am popping my cherry here , this is my first investigative work as a GUU member . I am certian this ball is a fake ! I have notified the bidder (told him about the forum too) but not the seller yet. All the signatures are the same handwriting . The clinchers (there are many)are the Koosman signature , who has a very ornate and beautiful signature and the Matlack sig is spelled "John" instead of Jon !!! item # 230062695443 ! Can someone please do the link thing for me . Opinions please . should I notify ebay and the seller ???????????????

Yep, that sure is fake. There's no way players would sign underneath each signature like that, they always sign in different places on the ball. And if you look at the way the "M" is written in some of the autos, they all look the same.

That was one funny item... For anyone unsuspecting, they should be astonished that all of the Mets had the same handwriting!!!
The funniest to me are the Tom Seaver and Willie Mays sig's. Considering that these are two of the most recognized signatures of any player out there, wouldn't it have made sense for the forger to at least try to copy them?
