I need help -- need to get items OUT of a charity auction
 
My Wife's school is running an on-line auction to help raise funds, which is great -- HOWEVER, when she sent me the link, I checked on the auction items and everything in this auction was authenticated by either Chris Morales or Ted Taylor.

Please, anyone who wants to make sure that no one gets "stuck" with a bad autograph -- please follow this link

And put a note in the contact forms --- that these items are not good -- and perhaps some links to some of our Net 54 threads as well

Thanks in advance for your help!

Charity auction
 
Good luck with it. The charity auctions are usually "serviced" by companies that come in and provide material with guys like Mantle, Williams, DiMaggio, Jeter, A-Rod, etc and most of it is not authentic. I actually sold an owner of one of these companies some authentic golf signed stuff and then he immediately went over to another dealers booth and bought Mantle and Williams terribly forged stuff right after I told him that I was 100% sure the stuff he was considering was bad. I don't think they care as long as it comes with some kind of authentication and fits in their pricing structure. If you try to present facts to the person running the auction, then you will be dealing with the, "so you're an expert then" style of conversation. It's a lose / lose scenario.

Rich, why don't you contact the school directly and impress upon them the urgency of the situation. We can all do that if you like. I would be more than happy to do that.

If all of you could contact the school
 
That would be great!~

Thanks!
