New scam -- forged sidewriting on vintage bats

Re: New scam -- forged sidewriting on vintage bats

Karamaxjoe,
I'm very glad to hear that the buyer didn't pay up. I sent him a message and also contacted ebay soon after I read on this board that he'd bought the bat and then noticed how the seller had purchased an astonishingly similar but unwritten bat in August. I'd bet that this forum saved the guy 3 grand. As I think about all the bats I've bought over the years, I'd say I've been very fortunate and that I really hate to see people tarnish the hobby.

Here is the other one.

I have had two sidewritten Honus Wagner bats in the past couple of years, and neither of them looked remotely close to this. Another nice vintage bat ruined.


Does anyone know who "championshipsportsinvestments" is? Inquiring minds want to know.....

Marcus,

I recently sold Peter a game used Barry Bonds hat on eBay. It was signed, GAI authenticated for the hat, PSA/DNA authenticated on the auto. Not much he could forge there I guess. Here is the link:

My experience was good; he paid and I shipped!

E-mail me Marcus, we need to catch up!

Thanks,

Peter's at it again. The fake Joe Jackson bat is back on e-bay.
