Was Campy's name actually listed on the PSA site when this thread started? I never bothered to look it up.

I don't know, this was the first time I'd looked.

It is not normal for a PSA website verification listing to say "cut" but not have the subject's name. That tells me that they took his name down from their site hastily, not that the slab was faked.

I called PSA customer service and told Veronica the cert number.
She called me back in an hour and the certificate verification page on their website now reads Roy Campanella.
Of course I took a screen shot of it.

Like Rod Serling would say while exhaling his cigi into the air "We've just walked into THE TWILIGHT ZONE" .......

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call "The Twilight Zone".
I think he is talking about COA's

[RichardSimon]

Maybe the COA reads "authentic rubber stamp of Roy Campanella's signature." .

If you go through PSA/DNA (blue flip) and have the autograph graded, only the item will be in the database. I had several that we're like this. If you opt out of getting the autograph graded then the player will be listed as well as the item. At least that is from my experience.

I am assuming Orlando is busy with other stuff than to approve each authentication of autographs since he has the grading division to oversee also.

That leaves Grad, and if he isn't okaying the autographs that others are authenticating, and stupid authentications like these occur, then shame on all of them. If he is okaying these, then they need to reboot and start over.

I would start over, pinpoint the problem, and fix the problem. hello?

[JimStinson]

priorities...lol
1) Did the checks clear
2) Whats for dinner

[travrosty]

If they revamped their system, and accuracy went way up, but profits went down, guess how long the new way of doing it will last?

the board of directors, and stockholders care about one thing, the stock going up. if doing it the quick way gets the stock up, then who cares about accuracy?

it's gonna continue this same way only until consumer confidence is undermined and their loa is tarnished in the marketplace. If that doesn't happen, then they will continue to do it this same way.

They know the problems, they know how to fix them. they weighed the pros and cons and figured it will cost too much to fix them, so they do it the same way. I could fix it right away.

Someone had posted this on another thread a while back, but here is Campanella using his signing aid device.
