How to sell an autograph without certification from abc and xyz co., and easy primer!

[travrosty]

i dont have a business so what's this business model stuff? i can;t have an individual opinion? do you know an abc or xyz authentication co? show me their websites? how am i in competition?

most respected.... is on a sliding scale so that doesnt count. who is the most respected out of this trio? bad guy #1, bad guy#2. guy who fudges on his taxes? most respected is subjective, people might say guy who fudges might be most respected, but does he rise to the level of respect as a benchmark overall??

it's up to each individual to judge. i have my bar that is set and as far as authentication goes, they are playing limbo.

if abc, xyz was doing such a great job, there wouldnt be a need for this thread, would there? put people ask me about it regularly. why is that?

how is blackberry doing these days? have you ever seen the commercial "where's the beef" ooops, wendy's violated your golden rule. And please show me the good track record of babe ruth authentications by these abc, xyz companies. i only told the truth.

I think the first thing you need to do is find out if a signature is authentic.

According to the expert writing the article, "Step 1" is to determine price range.

Perhaps authenticity is somewhere in 2 - 10 of this pulse pounding, edge-of-your-seat informational series.

They are not asking you "how too", they are challenging your assertion that there is no price difference in selling TPA vs non-TPA. It is not a subtle difference. And your answer always seems to be "I sold one once that didn't make up the cost of authentication and I know more than them anyway. So that proves it."

I call B.S. on anyone asking you how to sell anything.

I don't think there will be many buyers of a high dollar signature without proper authentication. You and I differ on what proper authentication is, but we should both agree you will never sell a high dollar signature like Ruth's without a major COA for what you would sell it with one. To say that's not the case is ignoring reality to prove a point to I don't know who.

"Ignoring reality" is about all there is to it. No further response needed. Well done.

A major COA doesn't have to come from a company like JSA or PSA. For a lot of people a major auction house with a solid reputation's LOA is enough. You don't have to use JSA or PSA if you don't want to, but I think you will need to have your item authenticated in all cases if its a high dollar item.

Agreed all around, and everyone wants a piece of the profit of your selling it.

Exactly! You should follow your own statement a little there. It seems all you ever do with your posts is spew hatred and contempt in an attempt to influence others peoples individual judgement, with the purpose to serve your own vendettas.
