Besides your attitude in the above post, what's ridiculous about people pointing out that signature is not THE Charles Comiskeys? Obviously, at first I would be skeptical on other people's opinions. The reason is simply because the card I was holding stated otherwise.

I think what he's saying is that you need to do your due diligence and know the difference between the two before you just purchase something blindly and then later post it for sale for $2000+. The above looks NOTHING like "the real Comiskey's" autograph. Not even close. I don't think he was being rude...

Well, I didn't purchase the card blind. It was pulled from a pack, graded. So I had to take the card, and Beckett at its word. What due diligence could I have possibly done? If I pull a Sportkings auto, and it's graded/authenticated by Beckett, it does not make me nieve to assume it's real.

Not meant to criticize or condemn, but this statement is the MAIN concern. WHY do you feel you have to take them at their word??? Search the board and you will find several PSA/DNA fails that are certed, and we don't "take their word" so to say...........

Greg,
Only several?

I just noticed this thread.
This is another perfect example of why these ridiculous 1/1 things are such crap.
They probably destroyed two letters in this nonsense. One of which would have been worth thousands of dollars. They make it into a 1/1 card and it makes speculators think it is something special. It is only a marketing gimmick. Take something of value, destroy it, then create something with phony value. A marketers dream and a real collectors nightmare.

I did at first, but after reading several posts on the matter, I went ahead and agreed with everyone's sentiments. That's Why I reported the findings by the good folks here to people that could assist me.

What is ridiculous is Sport Kings with their "authentic" autographs and your willingness to accept these as authentic without doing the due diligence and listening to the knowledgeable folks on this board (i.e. your argumentative diatribe AFTER you were told this card is Commy's son)

I think the reason he used that tone is because you joined this forum two months ago where many members have DECADES of autograph expertise and immediately argued when they told you what was blatantly obvious, even to someone as green as me. I saw it and immediately thought "Doesn't Comiskey usually sign with very curly C's and in fountain pen? Weird..."

If you want to get the most out of this forum, sit back, read, and learn. There is a wealth of knowledge here that these guys freely share. It's worth your time.

Good luck and glad the company is making it right with you.
