Serious, it comes with a JSA letter?

Does anyone here actually know Spence? If so, they might want to buy him a beer and have a heart to heart.

That is the perfect example of what I was saying. Those two autographs where authenticated (experts) How in the hell can we say something is bad if those two items passed. I love the B and the A connected

Sure, if they'll fake the auto and the membership card why not the letter too?

And the printing on brown cardboard hides the remnants of the white background so they don't even have to tidy up the scan in photoshop.

Steve, not really - you can verify the submission number on the letter. I don't know how to do it, but I'm sure someone here can figure it out. If it turns out that it is a legit JSA letter, I would think that calling something 'steel tip fountain' when it's actually a photocopy, would be grounds for dismissal;i.e-he should fire himself.

Shameful indeed

The evolution of the steep tip fountain pen has been quite dramatic.

Wikipedia claims that the laser copier idea didn't come about until the 1960's, but that's not what really happened....no, not at all. 'They' had apparently kept the process a closely-guarded secret for over twenty years. One of the team members was an avid Yankees fan and tested the new device using various player signatures. Like T206 printer scrap, some obviously survived. The age of the paper must have been what fooled Mr. Spence. Understandable.
