National Sports Autograph Network
 
Hello All,

I saw a Catfish Hunter ball on ebay with a COA from the National Sports Autograph Network, John Blasco, President of the Sports Securities International, Ltd. Were these guys reputable?

Thanks
Eric

I never heard of them.
A telling point in these unknown COA's is whether the issuer of the COA has included their address and phone number on the COA.

I'm not so sure this is much of an indicator. Many of the Florida fakes and their illegitimate spawn have a street address and phone number on the certs.

When dealing with an unknown COA, I think the best course of action is simply to show the autograph.

Agree 100% with this. An autograph should be judged on the signature itself and nothing else. Whether it's a "known authenticator" or not, it's best to judge the signature on the signature.

To correct Richard, an address that is not a UPS store, and a phone number that is not a pizzeria. :D
