Not Really on the Williams AHHH What are you talking about. Here is another PSA Baseball signed by Williams and IT IS IDENTICAL!!
The Mantle: Well Enough said. Best keep your day jobs boys...You are not qualified to Authenticate much! |

Williams, Mantle & Dimaggio Signature Opinions
Williams is not good, look at the open "a" in Williams - not closed like the one above

Take another look cheif and I think you'll see the open "a" in the forgery and the a is closed in the Green diamond PSA example among other things like the general baseline in the forgery is a mess. Best to take another look Knumbie J Skull, you are not qualified to call out all us non-experts when it's as plain as the nose on your face. |

The Williams and the Mantle are obvious forgeries. Not even close.

I had a bad gut feeling about the Mantle, I am glad that I trusted that feeling and posted the balls here. That is the worst thing about this hobby, you really have to be on your toes to make sure you don't get duped.
When BruinsFan posted these for sale I thought I could be more confident about items being posted here on this website but I guess that just goes to show that no matter where you buy from you still have to be very careful. Thanks for all of the opinions, you all certainly saved me and hopefully some others a lot of money. |

brings into question
This scenario brings into question who and what should be allowed to be sold on the BST of this forum? Since these sigs seem to be bad (according to those posting) what are ya'lls thoughts on these questions? I am not sure how to protect the board when also allowing so much commerce to go on? Of course if I/we see anything blatantly fraudulent we will take action, but these authenticity questions are many times a "he said, she said" kind of thing. It seems experts can disagree and then we have dueling expert opinions? What should the rule(s) be? Should we ONLY allow auto's or auto'd items with COA's from reputable companies or people? Very difficult situation....

Don't create rules to handle the exceptions. These things usually weed themselves out, as it did in the case. One rule that might make sense is that scans are required for any item over a certain amount. This would prevent anyone from trying to sneak one by.

Leon- think it's pretty tough to have a set policy when so much of the autograph world is in chaos. It's hard enough to get two authenticators to even agree on a signature, and everyone talks about bad items getting LOA's. So how can you enforce an area that has trouble enforcing itself?
