Authentic stamps of Joe DiMaggio, Larry Doby, Willie Stargell and Ted Williams will be issued by the U.S. Post Office on July 20.

If I'm going to lick a stamp, I prefer

This is ridiculous, how can they cash their paycheck over there at psa?

who is passing these? who is looking at them? I assume since Grad is the lead authenticator, he is overseeing all of this? What the heck is going on?

Is a slabbed autograph worth anything these days when it could be a stamp or a copy? unbelievable. There are still people that stick by these companies saying they are the best in the business. Good heavens, help us all.

They can't tell a stamp from a real signature. what a black eye for the hobby, and uncovering these is not a tedious search, they just pop right up all the time.

+1
Here is a pic of a rubber stamp Campy that I have had in my hands. It is so easy to tell what it is.
I would find it hard to believe that Grad had the piece in his hand and misidentified it, but that begs the question, who is doing the work over there??

As opposed to Mr DiMaggio...I don't blame you....

Now I've seen everything....

Seller just ended the listing. Did the right thing

[jgmp123]

I sent him a message a while ago...hopefully he heard from a few of us. There was a time when I was new to the hobby and had a hard time finding this stuff out on my own...very glad that I found Net54 and other sites to educate me.

Glad the seller did the right thing.

Way to go guys, glad to see a good seller out there.

Let's be sure to get the record straight here, the first one was withdrawn , the rubber stamp with the PSA plastic tomb is still up on ebay and firmly ensconced in the PSA database. If I did not see it I would not believe it.

[mr2686]

Yeah Richard, the topic actually came up this morning when James mentioned he still needed a Campanella and I asked if he was looking for pre or post accident. I went out on the bay and took a quick look and saw that one and a couple others and was able to tell (without ever seeing one before) that they were stamps, yet PSA could not? I guess the B-team was doing the authentication that day

WOW and double wow,,, oh man, way to go PSA with a real royal screw up.
Got a nice screen shot of it too, this is one for the books.
Also got a screen shot of the verification page.
First they authenticate laser prints and now rubber stamps. Is anyone over there paying ANY attention??

[JimStinson]

I'm confused , Is anyone even looking at the submissions ? what gives ?

Must've been pulled, it doesn't come up. I was in contact with the seller, but he refused to look at the rubber stamps here, he gave the standard "PSA OK'd it, it must be good" response.

Ebay pulled it. I do have the screen shot and the cert verification page from the PSA site. I thought it would be wise to save those things.
First they are caught authenticating laser prints, then they are caught on ebay with an authentication of a rubber stamp. IMO the rubber stamp is a much worse incident. Who is minding the store? Who examined that one? Obviously a person who does not know anything about a Campy rubber stamp and that is inexcusable, if they are having people work for them who know so little.
How can they continue to hold themselves out as the top of the business authenticators when things like this happen.
Mistakes are inevitable, authenticators will make them, authenticators will actually disagree on things too. But this Campy is just too far out there for them to excuse it in any way.

Ebay didn't pull it as I can still view the item. Where did it say PSA passed it?

Fun.

Larry,
the item has been pulled. Hit your refresh button and you will no longer have it up.
The item is in a PSA plastic tomb.

Pre kindergarden error, along with the famous $50,000 spectrograph machine or whatever it is that call it they should have an optometrist on staff 24/7

Totally typical.
