I'm guessing that the new owner will be destroying the JSA letter as quickly as it arrives to his house.

I agree on the JSA LOA. I'm surprised Heritage even showed it. I seriously doubt they noticed the "Clubhouse" designation on the JSA LOA as their description certainly suggested the Williams was authentic as he was specifically noted as being surrounded by the others.
And yes, the Stargell on there hurts it but if Williams had been authentic I would have been a buyer higher than $2800. Of course, likely so would have others.
Their pre auction estimate was $8K. No way it was worth that even with a legit Williams and no Stargell IMO but $4-5K would have been a reasonable price in that scenario.
