Hidden Authentics "Mystery Baseballs"
Ron Goldberg
I bought one of these today, boy what a major disappointment! I got a
Todd Walker which is OK by me, but that's not the problem. The problem
is it's on a really cheapo, non-official baseball, and to top it off,
the auto was smudged! I guess I expect a little more when I plunk down
$25-30 a pop. Needless to say, I'll be writing these jokers a letter
about their product. If you have any experiences with these balls, I'd
like to hear about them. Thanks.

Hi Ron. I tried to warn everybody when I got my dealer offer for this
product. You'd have to get really lucky to even get your money's worth
with this product, official balls or not. The idea is good, but the
price-point is way too high & the odds of getting a valuable signature
is astronomic! Plain & simple, this product is a rip-off!

WHY DO COLLECTORS SUPPORT CRAP LIKE THIS AND SCOREBOARD? ANYONE WHO DEALS
IN SCOREBOARD IS ASKING FOR PROBLEMS!
Mr.
Well, I got 12 balls on order because I am an autograph COLLECTOR, not
autograph INVESTING TO MAKE A PROFIT collector. Meaning I buy to keep, not
buy hoping they go up in price so I can resell for profit. So, I support
any company that has AUTHENTIC CERTIFIED autographs. End of story.

We'll see if you feel that way after you've gotten your balls (no pun

1) Scoreboard rips you off.
2) I can't be sure of Hidden Authentics, but they seem to not tell you the
whole story.

I bought four of the Hidden Authentics baseballs...I had ordered them
about a month ago and just received them a few days ago.
I ended up with Todd Helton, 2 Paul Konerko balls (who the hell is Paul
Konerko?) and Ken Griffey Jr. Griffey was on a Rawlings Offficial American
League Ball whereas the other three were Rawlings "Official League" balls.
Maybe they figured Paul Konerko wasn't worth a real baseball (who the hell
is Paul Konerko??)

Paul Konerko is a Dodgers prospect. Not a bad pull IMHO. I wouldn't
be too happy about getting doubles though. What price are people
seeing on this stuff?
Enjoy!

Keep in mind, Warren, that when Mr. Mister receives his order, and if they
are indeed lame, artificial baseballs, he's NOT going to rush to his
console and admit to you that you're right and the balls are crap. No
matter how much he hates them, he will proudly state they are EXACTLY what
he wanted, and that you were wrong.

sell or trade autographs. Here is my collection, excluding my autographed
