I was checking out an auction and ran across this signed book. What would be the general opinion of the group? Is this one authentic?

Absolutely not, in my opinion.

Very slow and bleedy looking. I suspect it was traced.

Heritage has said it’s Precertified which would mean either JSA or PSA/DNA has deemed it authentic.

I'm pretty sure precertified just means that theytook a quick glance at it. Some terrible mistakes have been made that way

It's not clear who precertified it. I thought Heritage used in-house experts these days. I'd be surprised if PSA, JSA or Beckett signed off on this.

I agree.
No way Beckett, JSA or PSA signed off on that crap.

That particular signature is from the book, My Favorite Forgery...
