remember, trusting psa's re-examination has to be with a grain of salt, because they are the ones who got it wrong in the first place. how about giving someone else a chance?

Travis,

Again.....the cut will be destroyed so that it will never again surface in the marketplace.....end of discussion. It is not out of fear of something that might be discovered or anything else. I just don't want this particular cut ever to have the chance of being sold or used to produce fakes to be sold in the marketplace again. It's not about you or Mr. Simon. It's about me wanting to eliminate something that does not belong in our hobby. Too many people have been the victims of this, including myself. Before the cut was pulled from ebay, it could have been sold to 5 different offers. Any of those people could have lost their hard earned money to something that was counterfeit had I accepted their best offers before it was pulled. I don't want it to have that oppurtunity again. Sorry.

so you are saying you wouldnt trust richard simon not to try to copy it or sell it, etc.

c'mon, that excuse stinks. Wanting to quickly destroy it, only makes it sound bad that you have something to hide.

Please scan it first and send to my email a crisp, clear scan. Remember, ron's cobb is already on the internet on a good scan, so there is no fear that anyone would use a scan to copy it when ron's is already out there.

i would like to compare good scans. But if you are bent on destroying it as soon as it gets back, we can only assume there is something to hide.

You are among respected hobbyists here, no one is going to steal your fake cobb cut.

Could you elaborate on exactly what psa said regarding this master forger. surely they had a more detailed report on this autograph.

You are a victim, if you want to help others, mark it forgery and save it for future research. How is it going to get into someone else's hands if you are the owner?

Once you get it back can you take another picture of it, just to show that they did give it back.

that is a great idea, include a copy of the current days newspaper.

i don't see how that could be hard to do. i will pay for the newspaper, usa today or whatever so we can confirm that you got it back.

Why would PSA reimburse this guy and then send it back? If they're paying out for their mistake wouldn't they keep it and destroy it themselves?

And Donovan, if you do get it back I hope you will send it to Richard Simon...you can be assured he would never let that get back into the hobby.

Although I haven't commented until now, I have been keeping up with this thread. Dan, I asked the same question to Travis via PM. If PSA/DNA reimburses Donovan for the item, why would they give it back? It makes no sense. They own it at that point and you would think they wouldn't want it back on the market.

There have been other board members that have had to use PSA/DNAs buy back guarantee and I wonder if they got their item(s) back? I would love for one of them to chime in.

As for the print dots, I have no idea either


Funny, most people here do

Send it to Jimmy Spence.

Did they reimburse him for the item or reimburse him for his authentication
fee(s)?
The item, legally, belongs to Donavon.
Why won't they learn,,,the cover up is always worse than the actual event.
