Reason Why Graphing Has a Bad Rep
http://cgi.ebay.com/BOB-FELLER-LAST-...item33643a2486
I was looking around ebay for different certified auto cards and did a quick Bob Feller search. I came across the above listing and just wanted to vomit.
It is things like this that give the hobby such a horrific reputation. To make the claim you have the last thing somebody signed as they were dying as if thats a prize is disgusting in and of itself but to make up such a despicable story just to make a few dollars is even worse.(Mr. Feller did sign after 8-2-10)
Its sad to think communities like this site with great people who love the sport, the players, and the hobby are judged by guys like this.

He signed MANY after the 8th of August, including for me. This makes me sick to my stomach.. I'm reporting this auction.
EDIT: It's not reportable.. Guess it's pretty specific on what you can report, you have to pick from a list and none quite "fit".Last edited by REDANDGOLDPRIDE; 01-15-2011 at 01:31 AM.

Ridiculous. I hope that person isn't a member on here.

Feller signed for me in October, so that's not the last autograph, but it is hardly the point. By all accounts, Feller was a good signer and great person. It is a total lack of class and respect to post that sig on ebay in such a manner.

I'm not even sure Feller really signed that. Compare it to yours and tell me what you guys think. I have 4 in my collection and they are all pretty similar to each other and they were signed years apart from each other. The Bob on the post card is significantly different from the ones I have. No loop at the bottom of the B in and the downward stroke at the end of Bob are things that are different from any that I have. The "Feller" also seems too far spaced out compared to everything I have.

If i was fortunate enough to have the last signed item of someone and had proof from a family member,as a collector i would hold onto that piece,and would not be willing to part with it for a measly $9.99.that is what bothers me about this post.this guy is in this hobby for the wrong reasons,shame on him!

Well I'm not American so I'm no expert of stamps but wasn't that a 28 cent stamp not a 44 cent? Not sure if that means something.

Post cards require far less postage than envelopes (don't ask me why. I just live here) so the 28 cent stamp is fine.

Here's a PSA/DNA from Ebay.

The letters on the "last autograph" card are way too round. The two Bs, and the R are too far off to believe this to be a real sig.
