Wayne and Mike Stivers COA

[Runscott]

Do you mean Wayne Stivers who has been compiling Negro League box scores forever, and who collects and sells Negro league player autographs, etc.? If so, he's someone who I've communicated with regularly over the years and I certainly trust him. I'm unaware of his doing any authentication.

I don't know if that's who I mean.

Take a look at this auction. I have plenty of reasons not to make this purchase, but I noticed the names in the auction and wanted to ask if they meant anything to anyone here.

Same seller has a number of high end autos with the same "Lifetime Letter of Authenticity - Wayne and Mike Stivers" line.

The Wayne Scott mentioned is a Negro Leagues researcher for the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Came across this one on ebay (ends today)...

Auto seems questionable at best given Keurajian & other examplars...

What do you guys think? Is this gentleman a reputable autograph dealer?

This seller was mentioned in the current "eBay isn't taking anything down" thread. I agree with Richard that some of his stuff looks legit, particularly in completed auctions, but a huge amount of his stuff is BAD. I'd stay away.

That seller is either knowingly mixing good with bad autographs or he had no clue and just bought without doing any homework.

Thanks Wayne,

Just finished reading that thread and looking at the sellers listings... The George wright is as amazing as the Grover Alexander and John McGraw that he recently slipped through the eBay cracks...

Yeah I hate that this guy has been peddling fakes with the occasional real auto in there...I do believe that the McGowan and Billy Evans are real...the rest, not so much...
