Yes obviously you have to be a premium member to look at the boards on that site. If you want to pay the $15 for a yearly subscription be my guest. I have no reason to lie, it leads right to the thread that has your Ryan Braun baseball pictured, and the few opinions it has gotten from members.

The only apology I am making is for not following the rules and contacting you first regarding the baseball. Other than that I have no reason to apologize, I stated an opinion and you replied with your rude defensive remarks. Anyone who is a member on SCN can view the thread posted.

I did not see your email, if it was posted I apologize I did not see it at first glance.

As far as private messaging you, I didn't even realize I could have as I have tried in the past with some people and it does not let me. Either way I am still new to this board and am getting use to all the functions.

Here is the thread:

freddiefreeman5 I'm not saying the ball is fake. I will compare it to other Bruan signatures I have. If it's not good I trust you to refund my money and if I think it's good then that should be enough said.

I understand people on here watchout for each other. Your are to contact the seller of questions you have before posting on here per forum rules. Yes I did notice freddiefreeman5 doesn't post his email but you could make a post asking him to contact you instead.

That is my fault, I will make sure to follow fourm rules and ask for the seller to contact me in the future if something like this were to happen again.

Re: Ryan Bruan autographed ROMLB GAI coa

My email is available for anyone on this forum. You could have also private massaged me. So that is a lie.

This ball has never been posted on another site that I am aware of so by all means post on here for anyone to see. Otherwise that is another lie.


Back up what your say about this baseball and post the sportscollectors.net link.

Re: Ryan Bruan autographed ROMLB GAI coa

I'm starting to not like what I'm reading about this Braun ball I bought. First Braun gets busted and now this. What else can happen?

You could tell others to stay out of your business.

Re: Ryan Bruan autographed ROMLB GAI coa

Being the seller did not have an email handy to email him about the baseball I made a post strongly that said IMO (in my opinion). I am not starting anything with anyone.



This ball has also been posted on another site (sportscollectors.net) in the opinions thread...i will not discuss the details of that unless the seller wants to email me.

Now that I have been called out I will gladly explain, GAI is an authenticator mainly for forgeries. The autograph collectors in the industry know GAI is unreliable and is mainly all forgeries. When it comes with GAI it is like there is no COA. The fact that you purchased it makes me feel even better about my opinion being it was obtained IP by you.

I am not looking to start my own authenticator and don't appreciate the comments however I feel I have a better judgement than a lot of others, because that is my main collecting interest, and the main focus on this site is GU. As far as items being GU I am still new to what is real and what is not or game used or BP used. I always look for help and have found some great members who have helped to educate me.

If you do not want my opinion I will not post them public however if I do not think it is real I will gladly email the seller asking for more information about the autograph when/where it was signed etc. In this case there was no email.

This ball has also been posted on another site (sportscollectors.net) in the opinions thread...i will not discuss the details of that unless the seller wants to email me.

Re: Ryan Bruan autographed ROMLB GAI coa

I'm trying to help the buyer out by letting them know they purchased a forgery. That's not rude. I'm not saying you didn't know it was a fake, just letting the buyer know, it doesn't look authentic.
Enjoy your ball

Re: Ryan Bruan autographed ROMLB GAI coa

This is another example of "everything I own is real and everything you own is fake...". Why are you guys commenting on this sale? If you don't like the item, don't buy it. No one asked for your expertise.

I think the ball looks good. I own several GAI items, autos, cards, packs...I have never had a problem with them.

All you have done here today is piss off a seller and make a buyer question a good item that he wanted. You made two people feel bad about a good deal, took another chip out of this hobby. You guys are the reason people are getting out this hobby, which hurts all of us. Mission accomplished.

Why don't you do us all a favor next time and mind your own business. This section is for buyers and sellers, not people to play a "gotcha" game.

I do not have an opinion of the Ryan Braun ball being authentic or not. If I owned it I would use PSA/DNA to verify the signature as I do not trust GAI on many, many signatures.

Anyone who is serious about the autographed memorabilia industry knows that GAI is not trustworthy. That being said, I can tell you from personal experience there was a seller who sold me a bunch of autographs last year that he allowed me to return any items that PSA/DNA would not certify. There were many.

Guess what, a few weeks later that same seller took the autographs I returned to him as suspect and listed them on eBay with Global certificates. Makes me worry about their authenticating ability.

I guess what Russell is suggesting is if you see an item for sale that you feel is questionable - Do not hijack the sale thread to discuss it - Open a thread in another topic to discuss it. Maybe the Auction Items Discussions thread would be a good place since it is a current item for sale.

All that being said - I have no clue if this Ryan Braun autographed baseball is genuine or not. I am not one to give such an opinion. As a major buyer and seller of autographed memorabilia, I will give my opinion on the various authenticators if I see it being discussed.

Skubats,
You have my email, let me know if you want anything.

To the rude people on this site ..............

[freddiefreeman5]

Re: Ryan Bruan autographed ROMLB GAI coa

dylanharr and Griffey24fan,
I am not GAI and I did not authenticate it. I bought it from Ebay last year and it looked good to me.
Maybe you both should start your own grading company or better yet stay out of other peoples sales threads if your only purpose is to cause trouble.

I really don't appreciate your post at all. Why make it after you see that he has made payment already. Why not send him an email?

Skubats,
I am sorry for other peoples rudeness. If you have doubts about the baseball when it arrives then you can have it for free and I will refund your money.
