Authenticators changing their minds

[Runscott]

That's a good idea, Jim. I also generally save the auction catalog page or create a pdf file from the online version.

Glad to hear that PSA was willing to change their minds about the Clemente, based on learning more.

There was a John McGraw signed T206 I wanted to buy. I liked the signature. They (forget if PSA or JSA) said they couldn't tell if it was OK. I passed on purchasing. Another board member acquired it and sent it to the same place along with many other items- so their was a large amount of $ involved. They passed and slabbed it that time.

I save every invoice as well as any photos or scans or photocopies or auction listings of the items I buy. I also save photocopies/scans of items that I get before I buy the item to prove that it is the item I bought, and staple it to the invoice. This is great for insurance companies, as well as to give a "provenance " , however limited, to the item.

Spence and PSA will never change there mind .
Have you ever seen an auction house take down and item and say the authenticator is wrong. It would open a can of worms that would never stop.
