OK - So, you are the original owner of an item... and you are ready to sell. The item was handed from a ball player TO YOU and YOU only. Would you offer a refund if a third party deemed the item not-authentic?

Do you need to include a phrase like this?:

THIS BAT WAS OBTAINED DIRECTLY BY ME FROM ______HE SIGNED IT FOR ME AND NO OTHER THIRD PARTY. I AM 100% CONFIDENT IN THE AUTHENTICITY OF THIS BAT AND AUTOGRAPH. THE WINNING BUYER IS WELCOMED TO GET THE BAT AUTHENTICATED BY ANY COMPANY OF THEIR CHOICE (JSA, PSA/DNA, etc.). IF ANYTHING IS PROVEN TO BE NOT AUTHENTIC, I WILL ISSUE A FULL REFUND.

For some reason, this type of statement would make me question the item...even if everything else, including appearance looked OK.

Just something I have always wondered..."is it just me"?
