Ne1 heard of Stat Authentic? I saw a bunch of stuff yesterday with those COA's. Smart enough to stay away from.

Stat Authentic (Also known as TTA) is on Ebay's Banned COA list.

The man behind Stat Authentic is Ted Taylor.

He was the primary authenticator for Coach's Corner Sports Auctions.

He has probably certed thousands of pathetic-looking forgeries.

The autos were the worst I've ever seen. Not even close when comparing to an PSA sample. (Stat Authentic)

Additonally, I trust NONE of them on new Hollywood or celebrity autos as the autos themselves are a joke and authenticating a squiggly line, to me, isn't possible.

Are you guys referring to just the authentication of signatures or are these guy also grading cards for Beckett now too?
