Question/Concern Buddy Hall Autograph

[manwon]

Ok, I just bought a Signed Buddy Hall 9 ball on ebay

I am (was) sure it was real because it comes with a Certificate Of Authenticity from the Glass City Open.

So I'm looking on ebay and the same guy has more balls for sale and I'm looking and he is using the "SAME" pictures to sell another signed 9 ball from Buddy.

So my question is......

Which ball am I getting? Am I getting the one that is pictured or one that may and probably looks different?

I liked the one I bought because his sig is right on top of the "9" and will display nicely.

Should someone use the "same" pictures to sell different items, even though they are similar?

Jeff, I also have a number of those balls signed by different Players. In most cases during large events a promoter will pay player a fee to sign a number of balls, who no's how many at a time. Then they resell them with a COA later at a profit. I suspect that the signature is lagitimit, I also have one from the Glass City open also, that I bought five or six years ago~!!!!
