Similarly if you have a three year old child in pre-k (nursery school), the term pre-K does not imply that the child is qualified for, eligible for or would ever be able to handle the rigors of the kindergarten curriculum. 
Thus I do not think technically that pre-certified means anything with respect to the authenticity of an item, good, bad or ugly.
I raise this point not to defend Heritage or anyone else that uses the term pre-certified, just to clarify the actual meaning of the language involved. I am not commenting on intent. |
What Frank said. Even if they made an internal mistake, that is what psa and jsa is for. They have a process in place.
Shelly... I don't think they want or should want your help at any cost. I would guess they would not want their name associated with you for many reasons.
Richard.. I see the same monkeys on this auto-side every day and you are one of them. Unfortunately, you are the one on the right as most would prefer you to be the one in the middle.
PS: It takes a special kind of monkey to call out an auction house on a Mickey Mantle autograph berfore it was looked at by psa and jsa. ESPECIALLY when he has had a couple CERTIFIED Mantle pieces that were horrible and well documented.
