Donavon are you out there and willing to help?

[RichardSimon]

Travis or anyone who might know for sure- did Donavon try to sell that cut on the B-S-T after it was kicked off ebay for authenticity questions?

yes he did, it was kicked off of ebay, he tried to sell it on b/s/t on 3/13/2012 at 5:59 p.m. for about a 25% discount, 1000 dollars versus the 1300 he wanted on ebay.

it had run on haulsofshame.com on March 12th, 2012 as having been already pulled from ebay.

Only took it off b/s/t after it was made clear to him that people here were aware of the controversy. At 11:31 p.m. he said no longer for sale until further notice. He already knew it had authenticity problems because they yanked it from ebay at least a day before if not sooner.

didn't seem too concerned about the authenticity then when he put it for sale here when it had already been pulled by ebay for authenticity issues.

When people questioned him, only then was he concerned about sending it back to psa for re-evaluation, didn't have those same concerns when he offered it up here for 1000 bucks when it had already got the ebay boot.


When Leon made him aware of the situation he said this.

-----------------------------
Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. I am currently at wars with ebay over the situation. I can tell you this much. The cut is real green ink on really old paper & it was found with a bunch of original 1930's & early 1940's Goudey cards. I personally sent the card in for PSA/DNA grading along with a 1939 Exhibits Ted Williams that I had signed at a card show in the 80's. It is not a laser copy as the author of the article has insinuated. I am seriously thinking of legal action, as this is clearly defamation of character on this author's part. I have never sold or attempted to sell a fake to anyone in all of my year's of collecting!

-----------------------------


so if he was at war with ebay over the situation, he had no qualms to offer it up here?

Nice try Donavon at playing the game you did.
But it has not had success.
Now we all have doubts about you.
I guess we might as well say goodbye to him, doubt if there will ever be another appearance from Donavon, the guy who had no qualms about posting a questionable autograph for Net54 members to buy.
Way to go Leon for calling him on this.
Hopefully, if this autograph was resold this thread will be picked up by the search engines and perhaps, if someone actually bought it, they will read this thread.

the show was lets make a deal, and he took the big box, or curtain number 1. thanks for playing.

certainly looks bad when it still shows up on psa database.

I wonder what got it pulled from eBay. I thought that psa/dna's opinion was sacrament to them.

Not any more.
They have somebody now that they trust more than PSA.

The cut still showing up in PSA's database sure negates the theory that an amazing forger was at work on that Cobb cut.
