I think with both hobby and forensic authenticators you have to realize it's just another opinion, and hopefully a somewhat educated one....

It's impossible for anyone to be 100% right all of the time when they are not there seeing the signature signed themselves.

You just have to educate yourself, first of all and after that go with who you trust the most. We all know of the better authenticators and others with a much worse reputation.

I would also agree, that that whole Sal Bando thing was just a complete set-up and it would never cross someone's mind that someone would forge his sig... It would have held more weight if the undercover reporter forged a bigger name auto.

Either way, 3rd party authentication will never be 100% accurate. The best we can do is try to expose and erradicate the true scammers and crooked authenticators and put our trust into (hopefully) some of the top minds and more trustworthy companies and individuals.
