I think it's time for these companies to just stop doing boxing, i mean, what a mess, they are authenticating these items with no historical or timeline type of context at all.
its just stamp the coa and cash the checks. It's no one elses fault but these two companies. they did it, and now what a mess there is. there are going to be massive refund requests. 2000 per letter on the word of these two companies.
i mean just when are they going to get some boxing experts and quit shooting airballs?
REA stands behind spence, they choose to, but when it comes up snake eyes, they will have to either keep sticking with him or re-evaluate it. You can't take the praise on a huge success of an item and then duck the scorn when another item turns into a pumpkin at midnight. It's up to REA to use who they want. No one forced REA or any auction house to use JSA. When they use JSA and hand Spence a boxing piece, they have to ask themselves, "Am I handing this boxing autograph to the most knowledge boxing autograph resource in the hobby". If they can't answer yes, then why are they giving it to him? If they can answer that question with a yes , then i dont know what else i could show them or tell them to get them to wake up and smell the coffee.
