Judge Dred (Fred)Maybe I just don't get this:
"The jury found that Collectors Universe used Miller's name on 14,060 Certificates of Authenticity without his permission."
Do you mean to tell me that it took over 14,000 COAs to be sent out before Miller figured this out?
In the name of common sense, we've beat PSA/DNA like a dead horse in this forum (in the past) because many felt that you can't blanket entire auction lots of hundreds of autographs with one COA (as was a practice in the past) and now Miller wants a pound of flesh because his name is on over 14,000 COAs. What's he saying? Is he saying that he no longer believes in the authentications that took place?
"Their verdict is an important step in allowing Bill to reclaim his good name and to protect the public from false authentication services." Hahahahahahahaha.... what a joke!
In his suit, filed August 2004, Miller alleged that Collectors Universe placed his name and signature on Certificates of Authenticity which indicated that he had examined items being authenticated, when, in fact, he had never performed a single authentication for the company's PSA/DNA Division, under which the certificates wer! e issued. Miller's suit alleged violation of his right to privacy by misappropriating his name.
Believe me when I say I'm no PSA/DNA fan. In this case a past officer of the company suing because of the reason provided just seems a bit ridiculous and the courts finding in his favor is even more so ridiciulous. They're all out of order....
If Leon doesn't kill this thread... let the comments (blasting) begin....
