This probably has been discussed before, the Nash post is from 2013, but as a friend of mine just asked me about Spence, I found this on a search and hope to get some reaction from the experts here. Nash's research as always seems meticulous but I am aware of his reputation. If Spence truly has made so many major mistakes, how meaningful can his authentication be?

Peter I have wondered the same thing for many years . Some of Spence's mistakes are so obvious and egregious that they are laughable at times .

I think Peter Nash is the most knowledgeable memorabilia person in the hobby.

Those guys are clowns. I just wish I had come up with this racket first.

His blog post is a remarkable document, whatever opinion you hold.

The more I read about these authentication companies and 'experts' the less faith I have in anything in the signed memorabilia area. I have dealt with a couple of local dealers who have signings and/or I've known for many years and I will buy from them on the rare occasions I pick up a signed item. With very rare exceptions (things I sent to Bobby Shantz, Billy Pierce, etc) unless I see it signed I'm not spending $$ on it.

Remarkable when you can figure out which is truth or lies or made up fantasies he is telling. He is total scum.
