Suspicious ebay listing - opinions??

[matthewstevens43]

So I am interested in this dual signed basketball (Jordan/Lebron)..... I have had some communication with the seller and he seems like a nice guy.... he says that he is going through a rough time and wants to sell the ball, but to be honest I am a little worried....

The Lebron Auto doesn't seem consistent with any of his other autos and I can not find any information on "5empires" (the company where the coa is from)...... if anyone can help with either their opinion or any other information I would greatly appreciate it....

thank you

here is the listing

COAs are worth the paper they're printed on. There's a lot of red flags going on with that auction too. I'd pass.

Given that Jordan and James both have exclusive deals with UD - Really the only avenue is UD Authenticated - and I don't know if either's ego would allow a ball to be signed by the other unless they were paid to do so - or it's on an item that's really unique - like something that would have been signed by all current living HOFers

I was thinking about that too, but he said that the Lebron auto was from early in his career, which would explain their ability to get his auto after Jordan signed it.....
