The so called " autograph" is a rubber stamp facsimile. The rubber stamp and ink pad days ended in the early 1970's. It has to be a scam because no legit TPA would certify this crap. I have seen a few autopen and facsimile signatures certified by mistake...….but this is a rubber stamp !!

A little off topic, but still relevant. Many years ago I did a show in Kansas City and I was set up right next to Justin Priddy. He seemed like a decent guy and not a scammer. As the years go on apparently he found he couldn’t compete with JSA or PSA and just produced letters for forgeries. I used to see authentic items here and there with his “cert”, but I don’t recall anything authentic that Justin has put his name on in years. Hard to believe someone would risk criminal charges and their reputation to authenticate forgeries. Nothing should surprise me

I agree wholeheartedly but I tend to think there is ZERO risk in authenticating forgeries. No one has ever been held accountable for it.

Even J Dimaggio and Jim Bellino were off scott free despite being incredible scum bag scammers during the Op bullpen days. Justin Priddy is not very Priddy. He is a big fat ugly loser.
