How to Make Sure You Buy an Authentic Autographed Baseball

69

By Ripken

If you are the kind of collector that buys autographed baseballs instead of receiving the autographs personally, then the following question has had to come to your mind: How can I make sure that the baseball that I am about to buy or that I have bought is actually authentic? Without a doubt, this is one of the best questions you can ask yourself because there are many fake autographed baseballs out there and there are scammers who make a very nice living from selling fake autographs.

If you want your collection to actually be worth something, you have to make sure that the baseball that you are buying was actually signed by the player. 

Let's say you bought a Derek Jeter signed ball when he was a rookie and you paid $50 for it but you never made sure it was authentic. Derek Jeter retires and an authentic ball signed by him when he was a rookie is now worth hundreds of dollars so you are so happy you have the ball and are about to sell it to pay for college or pay off a bill.  However, when you go to sell it you find out the baseball is not authentic and of course you are sure to be very disappointed. Do you now see the importance of making sure the ball is authentic at the time of purchase?

Although I know that when you collect signed baseballs it is not all about how much money it will eventually be worth, what would be the point of collecting autographed baseballs that are fake? Regardless of whether or not you have the intention to eventually sell it, it would be like fooling yourself.

To make sure you buy authentic autographed baseballs go to SignatureBaseballs.com where we will point you in the direction of nothing but signed baseball memorabilia that has been given the stamp of approval by the best, most trusted authenticators in the business.
