FS Autograph Collection. Mostly Yankees w/ Jeter, Rivera, Mantle, DiMaggio. + Ted Wil

[Duluth Eskimo]

My question to you is if you know

"Some looked like it might be fake, but like I said, I knew enough was good to break even and took a gamble on the rest. I would appreciate some additional useful feedback

WHY DID YOU OFFER IT FOR SALE TO NET 54 MEMBERS prior to getting opinions or having JSA review it as you have stated. This seems to be going over your head as the comments we are making are only to prevent someone from getting bad product.

I think free opinion time is done. I'm sure JSA will be more than willing to help you sort it all out.

Ok didn’t know you guys would only offer so many free opinions. Maybe you should start charging. For your comment on why did I offer here thinking some might be fake? I was told by seller that they all were good and figured some would want to buy at a discount and get authentication on their own.

I didn't notice one "discounted" price.

The forgeries I observed, even if authentic, were not "discount" prices.

They would have been after offers made

Let me throw you my free advice. I have been in business over a decade and deal with a lot of autographs.

You were taken.

You bought a lot of bad stuff. The seller was happy to be rid of it and you’ll never see that money again. He’s gone and breathing a sigh of relief that you took it off his hands. If you want to throw good money after bad then submit them for authentication. Thousands more out the window if it makes you feel better.

Even if everything was authentic, the selling prices are unrealistic. I have sold many of the same items at way less. Some at half of the price or less. And that’s in a retail store with the items being 100% authenticated - not in an online forum with no overhead and mostly no paperwork.

I don’t know what to tell you on the positive end except to use this as a learning experience.

Appreciate the negative feedback, but you are wrong. Like I have said, this is not the entire collection and there are plenty of items that are good and will be sold to make a profit. I was hoping someone could be more specific on which items that did not have Psa or Steiner, but still look authentic.

As far as the prices go, I always like to start high and negotiate. I would’ve probably taken half for some of the items.

What do you guys think about the Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio?
