Mike certifies everything in our auctions that isn't certified when we receive it. He has also come to our auction and spoken to our customers. Is he infallible? I'm sure he's not. I don't believe I said he was. What I DID say is he is the most honest guy I have dealt with in the autograph side of our hobby.

If you look at the autograph boards he is well-respected. I can tell you we recently had a LARGE autograph collection that was entirely uncertified and we put hundreds of pieces through Mike's hands. He failed numerous items of course, but what amazed me is that none of the items he failed were items that the consignor had gotten in person. He didn't have access to that information when he authenticated.

If you have a specific complaint about Mike (who was the creator of SGC's autograph division after he left Spence) that's one thing. But to just randomly shit on someone is pretty pathetic. Now your attacks (based on nothing but your opinion of autograph certification in general) might show up if someone searches Mike. Do you think that's fair?

Again if you have a specific complaint that's a completely different story, but how would you like it if someone with whom you have never done business starting posting shit about how you do your job where people who might do business with you would likely find it when trying to make a decision?

Oh, and there are NO autographs in my store, and there probably never will be. If not for my auction business I probably never would've gotten involved with them. But since it was a necessity, I looked into things and then made a decision which company to do business with.

Not particularity. I usually look at the Autograph.

In 10 Years, I have seen maybe 1 with the name "Certified" in it that wasn't a scam. Compared to 1000 other SCAMS. Can you comprehend that? So you found a Unicorn....Good for you. For the masses, If you see "certified" in the COA you can be sure that it is a fake 99.9 % of the time.

I don't care what the clown started. Steve Rocchi was a big shot with PSA too and Now GFA is a scam which he is the front man.

You don't get it. Calling someone a clown when you never met them, let alone used their services is a *&% move. You can say what you want in general about authenticaion, but when you start calling out or insulting someone specifically you really ought to have something to back it up. You don't.

Aside of the CoA, I just looked at the Hubbs in question. It is laughable at best. Fraud is still a crime, right?

You are 100 percent correct.
