Here's a link to another one from the same seller: http://stlouis.craigslist.org/for/1277146244.html .

With regard to the Braun, the photo they provided of the letterhead from the Brewers appears to be the exact photo that was used in a different Braun auction that ended last Wednesday, I believe before maya_holmen's auction began. No response from the seller on my question of if they could please provide a different photo of the Brewer letterhead.

Photo from maya_holmen listing on the left below. Photo from item #270423289739 is on the right.

Well, it's deleted now...

Here are the pics that were there; I saved copies:

The autograph is a 100% forgery

The Braun autograph is also fake

Would someone with MEARS access mind checking # 307381? I think I'm reading the number right; I was given a low-res pic by the seller, showing what looked like a MEARS work-up for a 2001 Pujols SAM, but I couldn't read all of the details.

As a friend pointed out, also note on the Braun "SAM BAT" logo that the eyes are round, whereas every SAM I've ever seen has them as a convex triangle (a bulging triangle).

1) Read the seller's feedback.

2) Note the currrent bid price of $51.

3) Note the seller's attempt to look honest/reputable by ending the listing with "God Bless".

I won't even comment on the poorly faked signature.

Check the knob if you still have photos to see if it matches other Albert bats.

I have had 100 Pujols autographs, and this one looks like NONE of them.

Is there a chance that the bat was re-painted, and another stencil was used?
