REA Gary Cooper

I do not know which is more inaccurate:
the authenticity of the autograph
or the manner in which this was reported to all of us.
"probe nabs" - it makes it sound criminal.
The spirit, and accuracy, of this reporting is far worse than the subject it tackles.
I was really put off by this write-up.
and if this autograph would have fooled many, or all of us - and fooled PSA - and fooled JSA, then why in the world, would you write "probe nabs" with regard to the auctioneer.
The positives of someone bringing inaccuracies to light - must be weighed against the negatives in the manner in which they do it.
On the whole, this report creates more inaccuracies than it resolves.

That reminds me of the Ruth autograph, from a board member touting his authenticator's superior ability, on a 1953 Silver Certificate.

And I am not commenting on the Cooper item, I know nothing about it.

That was ridiculous. The same seller had a bunch of babe Ruth "type 1" photos that were not even close to type 1s that were bgs slabbed that he was selling. A couple still pop up on ebay(they are usually buy it nows or best offers and have a brown tint/heavy paper stock). and are worth about as much as kindling. There was one 8x10 bain image that was thick stock.. so fake. PRIME example of get what you can get authenticated and sell rather than being concerned if it is good or not.
