A couple days ago I got a call from a gentleman in the military who bought a ton of signed items through a military auction site.
He called me to find out what his Ali signed items were worth, but said he had a ton of Mantle signed stuff also.
He tells me he has COA's for all of them, of course I ask who and I hear the names Morales, Ted Taylor and this Burczyk guy who has come up recently.
I told him to get his money back.
Saddest part. He's hinging his hopes on a Mantle signed ball he sent to PSA to have authenticated. I asked him if he sent the authentication with it and he says there was a Morales hologram sticker on it.
He said he called PSA ahead of time about the ball and mentioned Morales, and they acted like they had heard of him but didn't really know anything about him. Send in the ball with your 75 bucks and we'll check it out, they said.
Pretty sad IMO. Guy got screwed by the bad guys and the supposed good guys at the same time.
