feel dumb because i can not insert the picture. says uploads not allowed.

i have a chance to obtain this thing but need to know what it's worth.
 
how do u frikken insert a picture when "uploads are not allowed"???

and yes, call 'em...

i can see these in the picture:
MKG
Lamb
T Jones
Wiltjer
Miller
Davis
Teague
 
that one is nice!
not sure if the signatures on the one i am looking at are legit.
I know the guy that sold that ball. The Davis and MKG signatures at that time are very recognizable. If yours looks like a fake, it probably is.

Davis signed his full name in college. He didn't use AD. I know the signatures extremely well as I obtained many in person. If you get a pic on here I could say.
 
I'll would almost be willing to bet that a 2013 championship team ball signed by UofL might be worth more...? WHY?... I mean how many people would like to have an autograph ball signed by, THE ONLY TEAM IN HISTORY TO BE STRIPPED OF AN NCAA BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP. That could be worth something.
WARNING; If you purchase a UofL ball. Handle with rubber gloves only!!!!!

both examples show a cursive D Lamb signature that is very similar.
Anthony Davis is a full signature and not just initials.
 
They all look a little off. Lambs signature is usually smoother than that. Darius Miller's is totally different, the humps on the m are off and the d is incorrect. All of the signatures look shaky....like someone was trying too hard. Terrence Jones usually signs with a more pronounced T.

I'd stay away.
 
Buddy, hate to tell you this, but that ball is 100% fake. MKG did not sign that way, Davis is way off, Miller is way off, jones if way off. I've got a ton of those signatures and I'm certain. Psa wouldn't authenticate that.

In the future be careful and do your homework before buying any signatures.

They don't look a little off, they look way, way off.

What they are indeed are copies. Doron signs like a elementary school kid and others are messy but that has the signs of someone who took a sharpie, looked at real sigs and tried to make them look legit. Jones doesn't spell out his first name, it's more a giant T and scribble. Miller has better hand writing, almost looks like a female signature. All the balls I've collected (or seen that are legit) the players don't write over each other like that either.

I paid $150 for my 12 ball (full team w/Cal) back in 12 from a reputable dealer in Lexington who I have bought from before. What is an authentic ball worth now? Depends on who is coughing up the money. For one that's proven genuine, I would pay 2-300. I sold my entire collection to one of our fellow site members two years ago, who shall remain unnamed. Deep pockets get the prime artifacts.
 
I have pics of AD signing a ball and a jersey that I have. The ball I have has autographs from players from years past until now. My Davis jersey is framed and waiting on my man cave to be done.
 
I have the actual scouting notes and a CD compilation of the 2012 National Title game against Kansas that Cal went over with the team before they left for the arena.

Is that stuff worth anything? Not that I'm willing to sell it.
 
I have a signed 1996 t-shirt; entire team. I watched them sign it in the lodge. How much would that be worth. I have a piece of the original Rupp floor signed by Rick. I have a ball signed by 96 team as well. Lots of other stuff. One of my favs is a Nazr signed picture of him under the basket (sky view). I brought it to him to sign. He loved that picture. Asked if he could keep it - I said no. Sorry.

thanks for the feedback guys!
the person who owns this one saw me in the MSP airport with a UK shirt on and struck up a conversation; i did not seek him out. i was in a bit of a hurry so i gave him my card and said if you ever want to get rid of it, let me know.

i do not think he is trying to scam me, but i will definitely steer away from this one.
 
They don't look a little off, they look way, way off.

Yeah....I didn't want to crush him with the news. Every signature is signed with a shaky hand. Davis I can't even see well it looks like it runs into another signature but he usually uses a loop on the top of his A, in some instances he has used a point but not often.

What about two 51 year old Kentucky balls that have both dropped overtime yet have produced when the chips were down?
