My only beef is that they are displaying items for auction/sale that have not been reviewed by their authenticators. That is an issue. Why bring that kind of bad publicity when you don't have to.
I guess that is their decision. They obviously missed it and have PSA AND JSA to look at it before it is sold. Would you honestly say that their "pre-certed" Mantles usually look like this??? I think it was a mistake and it would have been corrected whether Little Richard and Shelly jumped on them or not.
