Ripped off by a James Spence lifetime guarantee

[EricS]

Wanted to share an experience I had with an autographed baseball I purchased from a dealer who bought it from James Spence. The ball came with a letter offering a lifetime guarantee.

well it seems to me the issue is not with jsa the company it said the ball was no good that was what the guy who bought it sent it to them for, i dont really see the ball so lets just say it is no good, so at that jsa did ecxactly what they were paid to do . whoever you bought from names millwich? or whatever that doesnt matter he is a nobody anyway , but the issue is with james spence the dealer who wrote the lifetime deal, well at the end of drawn out letter and story it says he reached out and said he would work it out. maybe i am missing something but that is what he should and is doing. i just dont see at least yet how thats not holding up the guarantee , maybe i read it wrong. he didnt say something like i am no longer a dealer and deals off he said you guys would work it out . i wouldnt throw him under the bus yet. but like most of these post and websites it is just another way to try and discredit somebody . but again maybe i am wrong

The issue to me is that a ball which originated with a James Spence letter, which was sold by James Spence was then rejected by James Spence's company, and then his company said they have nothing to do with the lifetime guarantee. I would have to go to James Spence to talk about that, who happens to be the owner of the company.

You don't see anything unusual about that sequence of events?

That said, I am encouraged that James Spence did eventually reach out to me after his company told me that they couldn't talk to me since I didn't submit the ball to JSA. Let's hope he does the right thing and I have good news to report.

no it is two seperate companies and the letter was written over 20 years ago , sure a mistake was made then or by whoever at jsa said it was no good , if maybe it is actually good , what i see as strange is posting this before the person who wrote the letter has not been given a chance to make it right ,if most people saw that you had taken this to a public forum before you allowed them to make it right they would tell you to eat it . be thankful he responded and if you want to be a "dealer" then you have to eat a turd ever so often , maybe this was your turd , and if you want to be a big dog seller then you shouldnt have to look at the letter anyway , and know enough to buy a legit stengel and not look at some letter anybody wrote and some type guarantee, i see stuff with you name it certs and if it is no good i dont buy . simple deal , everybody wants to be a dealer

I saw your listing. I was surprised ebay let you sell that. Pretty obvious forgery.

I rarely collect autographs and also was trying to get information about unopened wax. If you're saying I'm not adding much to this board, you're welcome to come read the gameusedforum.com site I established years ago which since merged with game used universe.
You're welcome to read my 2,670 posts over there.
