Posted By: <b>Mike H</b><p>I find the arrogance of the top authenticator disturbing. His statement that "you will get a lot more for your autograph" points out all that is wrong with the autograph industry. How about saying "our process can give you additional comfort regarding the authenticity".

Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>I agree.... pure arrogance. I also question what Spence is doing to remedy this. It seems he should proactively and vocally make a few necessary changes, and should be personally involved with counseling his authenticators.<br /><br />I don't think that a detached or passive approach to fixing this is warranted. It also seems that something should be posted on his website, in order to alleviate people's concerns. <br /><br />I know that Spence's authenticators must put greater effort into the review process of rarer/more valuable autographs than Bando (who was signing at the very event in question). There is little reason for an authenticator to suspect a fake Sal Bando autograph. But this is still a "black eye" that should be addressed with strong corrective action, if Spence hopes to retain any of his previous status.
