Tinker, Bergin and Ghost...good points. You take a signature that is perceived to be bad by a number of experts who aren't authenticators, but solid dealers, specialized in the area of the signature or auction house heads and it comes with a top authenticating cert, it will forever be good in the minds of those who totally trust these companies, while the expert or dealer would pass on it. There is so much weight placed on the cert in this instance as there is a solid following and trust with them. All authenticators make mistakes. Some more than others. Some never get it right and are discussed here with venom...monthly.
