gridironmike Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I searched Flutie and Ebay before I posted this, so I hope I haven't duplicated a thread. This guy is claiming to have the ball Flutie drop kicked. I say its fake. http://cgi.ebay.com/DOUG-FLUTIES-HISTORIC-DROP-KICK-FOOTBALL_W0QQitemZ8768278686QQcategoryZ86827QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgunner Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I wish they would stick Flutie on that new show coming out, Pros vs Joes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fight_on_til_you_have_won Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 After watching the expose on Real Sports about the rampant fraud in sports memorabilia, I'm steering clear of all that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailRiggoRanger Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 After watching the expose on Real Sports about the rampant fraud in sports memorabilia, I'm steering clear of all that stuff. I agree, especially considering the seller says, "I have nothing to gain by lying about this." Yeah right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlitzFiftySix Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I believe it is real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDFan5 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 he says he caugh it in the crowd but there is a net behind the FG posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I love how he says "accompanied by a letter of authenticity," and then when asked who the LOA is from, he's like "Oh, I wrote it." :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: What a maroon. Not to mention the number one rule of ebay: DON'T BID FROM SOMEONE WHO WRITES IN ALL CAPS. I'm willing to bet 9 times out of 10 it is a dishonest listing.

fight_on_til_you_have_won Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 he says he caugh it in the crowd but there is a net behind the FG posts But they lined up to run a play, so the field goal net probably wasn't up. I can't verify that, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailRiggoRanger Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 But they lined up to run a play, so the field goal net probably wasn't up. I can't verify that, though. Interesting question. I wonder if they put the net up as SOP after a touchdown, or if they wait to see if a play is being run. It seems to me the chances are it's a fake. If it was real, he would probably have documents from a law firm stating that witness statements will accompany the football. I think that is usually how these matters are handled (e.g., Barry Bonds homerun ball). He offers his own letter of authenticity, that's hilarious!

matt_chew Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Two things i love about this auction. 1. This guy has a sparkling reputation from his past auctions. A whopping rating of ZERO meaning he either has never sold on ebay before or created a new account. 2. No one actually won the auction because he set a really high reserve. Apparently 33,000 isnt good enough for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titaw Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 The ball is a Genuine Wk-17 ball, but I can almost GUARANTEE that it is NOT the ball kicked. The patriots lined up to run a 2 pt. conversion play which means they would have a ball that they use for regularly run plays, NOT A KICKING BALL!!! The "K" on each side of the air hole indicates that it is a kicking ball. Thus, it is not the ball that was dropkicked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
