Good luck with it. The charity auctions are usually "serviced" by companies that come in and provide material with guys like Mantle, Williams, DiMaggio, Jeter, A-Rod, etc and most of it is not authentic. I actually sold an owner of one of these companies some authentic golf signed stuff and then he immediately went over to another dealers booth and bought Mantle and Williams terribly forged stuff right after I told him that I was 100% sure the stuff he was considering was bad. I don't think they care as long as it comes with some kind of authentication and fits in their pricing structure. If you try to present facts to the person running the auction, then you will be dealing with the, "so you're an expert then" style of conversation. It's a lose / lose scenario.
