EricThis is a comment I just posted over on the game used forum board, but I'd like to throw it out to you folks as well.
Jay-
Thanks for your report.
I am confused by something you mentioned. You wrote,
"As to Ichiro bat, Bushing said this came from agent of Ichiro and apprently were mislead about the bat."
I think I need more explanation on this. I'm sorry, but it's not being too harsh by saying if an authenticator is to sign a letter on something they have to do their own homework before issuing that letter. Even if somehing comes directly from a player, it is the authenticator's obligation to examine it and compare to archival photos. We have seen instances where players ahve sold the same event used item TWICE. So a good source may not always be a good source. If it's what it sounds like, SCDA too Ichiro's agent's word on the bat and issued a letter? Please clarify
Thanks
Eric
