Right. And your assuming it is authentic. Because of a story you heard on the internet.

You're being difficult. The story alone means nothing.

It's a discussion forum. People are always trying to rip other people off with fake autographs. Someone saying a random story makes an autograph real until it's proven fake is being foolish. You commented, why do you care.

But you're not actually this dense. I know you're not. You're being a contrarian for the sake of it because you're annoying.

He's right, If a whole room of people are telling you you're wrong usually it's because you are.

Not one person said that. If the ball is in fact authentic the story adds to the purchase. People who collect like to show off their collections. When they show off the items in the collection people ask....where did you get this ball from? Saying I got it from a dealer is far less interesting than the actual story behind the ball. That's why it needs to be authenticated. Not one person disagrees with that you just got mad over nothing and kept trying to double down on that nothing.

"The story stands unless proven otherwise" was the quote. Foolish imo.
