Disturbing trend in MLB authenticated balls?

[jwasserman]

I used to own that Neshek ball (I am not the ebay seller). That the seller even mentioned the tear is more a testament to their honesty. It's a small corner of the tag that was most likely ripped when applying it.

That ball has changed hand a few times- I won it off Ebay, traded it to someone on the Neshek boards who later auctioned it off there. I thought about getting it signed but just couldn't bring myself to drop it in the mail, even to a reliable signer like Neshek.
