That's the short version. And Mike Frost got some Mante's authenticated by Frangipani.

So I guess what happens is that Koschal attacks you and you start a site attacking him. It's all kind of fun to read.

In the Mastro-Daniels case, referred to above as the Mastro deposition, basically the judge said that only scientifically trained individuals could render opinions in Indiana courts about authenticating autographs. According to his ruling PSA, JSA, Koschal, myself and others of similar training would not qualify to render opinions in courts in Indiana. This ruling applies to courts only located in Indiana.
I think the hobby holds a different view of the non-scientifically trained authenticators.
PSA's attorney did get the judge to dismiss Daniels' suit against them, but that had nothing to do with authentication.
