Re: No Way Nolan Ryan Signed This!!!

A veteran dealer once said that, even if the autograph is genuine, if the signature is unusual you should save your money for the standard signature. This is because the standard signature is easier to sell. The odd one people will have questions about. He was talking about a Joe DiMaggio ball.

Re: No Way Nolan Ryan Signed This!!!

And another eBay JACKASS seller...

I posted a very polite question and got this back (yes, in CAPS as posted):

Dear lumber_jack_bat_co,

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN BUYING IT OR PLAYING EBAY POLICE IT IS WITH STICKER AND CERT CARD ,

- khw

So I am responding with this:

Wow. If you must know, a friend who knows I've collected Ryan for years asked me to take a look at it which is why I asked. But, like too many eBay sellers, instead of having a polite response to my polite inquiry, you type in all CAPS (the equivalent of eMail YELLING) and come off like a jack ass.

I will definately NOT be recommending you to ANY of my friends.

GOOD DAY!

And he's an eBay store!?!? Not sure how he expects an attitude like that will win any more buyers...

Re: No Way Nolan Ryan Signed This!!!

I have to back Dr L on this... I personally own over 40 Ryan autos - most of which have been gotten in person or through his foundation and NONE look that sloppy... I've seen Nolan sign sitting, standing and walking and his auto is consistent...

I don't care if it has a PSA DNA case - I want to see the sticker and the Cert #.

I just sent this to the seller:

Hello -

Not trying to cause a stir, but I have been collecting Nolan for over 20 years and this auto has me scratching my head... would you please post the PSA/DNA Cert # from the sticker that should be on the ball?

Thanks!

Smitty

I'll let you know if I get a response.
