Question about clean sweep auctions

[ls7plus]

As I said earlier in this very thread, I have had many, many interactions with Steve and Clean Sweep over more than 15 years with no problem whatsoever. Whenever I have had questions about any item, either Steve or one of the staff has always answered them completely and honestly. This included at least two purchases in the last 3 months or less.

Happy collecting,

Larry

I, nor anyone, should have to ask by contacting a company what the "real" LOA is that you are getting and no one should have to "assume" what it is. Be truthful and put it in your listing or rules...plain and simple and truthful.

Per our rules your name needs to be in your posts if you are questioning folks or making comments about them, so your name is Dav.id Patt.erson. It is now under your user id in all of your posts. Nothing personal, carry on.

Thanks Leon... Nothing to hide but I did not read the rules. Thank you!

I have never had a bad dealing with Clean Sweep. Sorry you have.

In my experience, the form of the letter of authenticity referred to is very much standard practice in an auction featuring many autographed items. JSA certainly has extensive experience with all of the star signatures that come up, and if they didn't think a given example they scrutinized was real, they wouldn't issue even the more limited form letter of authenticity. If you like, you can submit any item purchased under those circumstances to JSA for the so-called "full" letter of authenticity for the additional amount stated. But an auction house offering a very large number of such items is not usually going to absorb that cost or attempt to pass it on. That is merely an option the winning bidder has available to him. Sorry if the original poster on the latter portion of this thread misunderstood the circumstances, but I certainly don't believe there was any intent to deceive. IMHO, if the limited JSA letter indicates the signature is believed to be good, it will be good in the overwhelming majority of cases.

I would also once more echo Robert's statement in the post above--in more than 15 years of dealing with Clean Sweep, with innumerable purchases, I have not had one bad experience.

Highest regards,

Larry A. Smith
