Without commenting on work quality, the actual contract is relatively cheap

You are asumeing he is an expert. The title Forensic Examiner has gone to such outstanding people as the Donald, Morales, Garo and my new all time favorite GFA
You did hit it right on the head though cheap, cheap, cheap. Thats what you get when you pay someone to authenticate hundreds of pieces for $7500
I would love to see him testify it would be like a deer in the headlights

Here's the thread on the Cobb ball. In it you will see a screen shot of the auction listing. It plainly states the ball comes with a full authentication letter from PSA/DNA, and an auction house letter from JSA. There is no mention it is a pre-certified viewing only. Once the ball was exposed as being made after Cobb's death, the spin doctors took over.

So Drew apparently rejected 75% of the autographs-

The prosecutor was quoted as stating that all which was rejected would be destroyed. In my opinion, based on my reactions to work I've seen done by this fellow, alot of authentic material has likely gone up in smoke...

You should read post #22 of that very thread, and then read it again.

I have read it, so there is no need to read it again. Nothing has changed since my last post, and nothing will.
