Troy, you don't think it's a problem that Bushing writes a LOA on an item, then MAstro decides to get SCDA to verify? Who at SCDA is going to dare say that something one of their authenticators isn't what it's claimed to be? It would professional suicide within the company to challenge Bushing or another top authenticator.

If a case like this came up, I would hope SCDA would say thanks, but it would major conflict of intrest on our part to verify the claims of one of our employees. There should never be the need for a check box on the back of an LOA or any other such silliness.

Your authenticators need to remove themselves from selling all together to remove any chance for the appearance of impropriety. I would think that you would want your company to be of the highest intregirity, and if Mr Bushing can't break away from selling stuff he authenticates, then you need to get rid of him as an authenticator because he cannot give you opinion on items that doesn't appear to be tainted.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming --- WOW, What a ride!
