Stolen Babe Ruth Autograph

[JT]

I had sent this off to JSA for authentication with a few other items. Received the JSA letter back but the
autograph was not included. They didn't add any insurance when they shipped it back,
even though I paid the fee noted on the back of the submission form.
The only insurance was the standard 100.00 that UPS placed on everything by default.
They wouldn't make good on it and I only received the 100.00.

I have been looking for this ever since. A police report was filed with photos and other pertinent info.
Thought I would give this forum a try as I have not seen it on eBay or elsewhere.

If anyone comes across this signature, please let me know.
It should have the JSA sticker on the back, B89670, as that is where I asked that it be placed.

Thank you.

What is the media that the signature is on? Is it cardboard?

Wow that's in rough shape

Wait, JSA never insured the package? Why are they not compensating you?

I think what happened was the signature was missing from the envelope JSA returned.

I just want to understand something for my own future dealings. JSA did not insure your package for the declared value and insurance fee you paid for the package's return? Is that correct?

Wow, that is the TPA equivalent of Chris Christie/gate.
I insure every item I send back to a client and always insist on signature confirmation also.
How can he not compensate you for the loss?

I added bold text.

Just for context, this was 5 years ago. And while I know many for whom "it's not worth their time", they also seem to be aggrieved more than most.

Jim, in 2008???
JT - why post this story 5 years after it happened?

Why was the wording "In 2008" removed from the original post????

That certainly puts a different light on this.
The incident reflects badly on JSA but why wait five years to post it here?

And why post "In 2008" and then remove it....

Sorry, I added 2008.

I was confused by elements of the story, as I read it as a very recent occurrence. So I looked up the cert. Now at least the story can jibe contextually for me.
