Eddie Plank Letter

[lechaim18]

I was about to submit my letter to psa until i found out it was 250$. Please let me know if you think its worth while to get this letter authenticated. It was purchased at an auction.

Thanks for your help

Disclaimer that I have never really studied Planks signature, but what really jumps out at me from a handwriting perspective is how much darker and the pressure applied to both the signature and date, and conveniently the L in Plank fits just under the closing and looks slowly drawn on the top part of the loop.

Not authentic.

No good. Probably at one time came from the Roaches.

To the original poster - what auction did you purchase it from? How much did you pay? Your answers to those questions might tell all of us the answer to your original question.

Ya I was pretty sure it was a fake. I bought this at an online auction on proxibid. At the time I researched the authenticator and he seemed legit. I was about to submit to psa and I said hey let me type justin priddy in google one more time and obviously this forum and a couple of others have done a great job of ruining this guys reputation Hopefully all the negative publicity on these scammers will put them out of business and put them in jail. I didnt lose much and I plan on bitching to proxibid and the auction house.

Thanks for the help guys. I have more autos I purchased from proxibid id love to get a second opinion on. Funny that I feel safer with the unauthenticated pieces then i did with the authencated

For the record you can expect to pay between $25,000 and $45,000 for an authentic Plank ALS. Maybe more depending on content

Definitely looks like crap that would come from Coach's Corner.

Who is the issuer of COA?

Chris Morales, Drew Max, Frangipani or Ted Taylor (TTA/Stat Authentic)?

He stated it was Justin Priddy

Rather than berate you for a mistake already made, I'd like to encourage you to report back on the results of your complaints to proxibid and the auction house (by the way, which auction house, as there are many that use proxibid as a platform). The more specifics you can give, the better the odds of this thread popping up in the next unsuspecting bidder's casual google search, which may help keep others from repeating your mistake. It's also fun for us bystanders to hear how the auction house (typically) tries to squirm out of any responsibility or stretch a loophole big enough to escape through
