This looks like one to follow

Link not working.

I check it again and it's correct. Maybe it was taken down. Let me see if I have it in my cache.
Nope I don't have it. Looks like the whole website is down. Not sure if temporary or not.

It was working earlier. Looks like they are claiming collusion because psa and jsa will not authenticate their items.

Let's see if this one works

Discovery should be a hoot! It will most likely end up solidifying the defendants reputations. How great would the following exchange be:

Todd M's counsel: "Please take a look at this autographed photo of Tom Hanks that my client has authenticated. Was this submitted to PSA/DNA for evaluation? "

Joe O: "Yes. It was found to be nowhere near close to what an authentic signature looks like."

Roger E: "I'm not sure that is even a photo of Mr. Hanks."

Steve C: "Why am I even here for this crap?"

Tom Hanks: "That is not my current signature.That is not my signature from the past, and before you ask, it will never be my signature in the future."

Todd M: "It was probably signed while you were drunk, or skiing."

Tom Hanks: "I don't drink or ski."

Joe O, Roger E, Steve C (in unison): Are we done here?

Todd M's counsel: "I saw Madonna in the reception area. Let's skip to Joe Frazier..."

While That Mueller guy prays (preys) all day and steals all night, he has done some good and some bad IMHO. First, I love his business plan of returning anything for life, but he has more stories than a library to smoke screen the reality when people question the authenticity.

I've stated numerous times that that's the same big shot that argued with me about 'Providence" and "how he did many signings he did with Mickey Mantle, Mantle this, Mantle that blah blah blah. We were discussing "this" Mantle and the guy went on for 4 pages on his "last smear website", not Animal Planet that Travis started and handed over to this nut job. He lost all of his credibility in my eyes that day 5 years ago when he sold this Mantle on his website. I saved it so I could share it every time the name comes up. I hope he gets everything he wants praise to god. To think that Steve and Roger are being taken for the ride is a Joke just like this one Mr Mueller played on some nit wit. Here's the Beautiful Mantle that "Mr Sue everybody" is hanging his hat on.

Here's a lesson in the law of unintended consequences: I was seriously looking at a Mueller item on eBay but have now decided to pass on it given what I've read here.
