Online Authentics legit?

[shelly]

Yes, the company was started by Harlen Warner after that I am not sure what the have done. I know there reputation was above board. If they are just another authenticator you know what I think of that

[Mr. Zipper]

I have seen OnlineAuthentics stickers on a lot of Koufax and Ali items that appeared to be good. I think this is why I thought they did supervised signings. Maybe at one time they did?

They are owned by Harlan Werner.
They did have Koufax under contract, I don't know for how long.
They also had Ali.

I suspect they did mostly in person signings and some TPA-like opinions. They had an autograph review board and you could send in your autograph for opinion. They were considered a legitimate company and had reputable people working for them.

I remember they authenticated the home run derby balls from the All-Star Game a few years back.

So it seems like they are pretty above board and reputable in the hobby. My question is, how did they authenticate this Jordan? There is also another Jordan item that was sold on ebay a few months back, exact same signature

So there are a few options

1. This Jordan is authentic (based on some, thats false)
2. Online Authentics has an example of a legitimate Jordan that looks like this signature
3. Online Authentics knowingly certified this item knowing it was not authentic

Pick your poison

Why would I pick poison? That's silly . . . Oh, I get it. One of your humanoid sayings.

I looked up the serial # and it said the Highland Mint photo was physically reviewed by Greg Tucker Autographs. Which I assume means it wasn't signed in person.

Still have the 3 options...

Noone is defended the autograph, so its not authentic... That means one of the other 2 is the case
