I was thining EXACTLY that Barry. I scanned the rest of their crap. Same old fake garbage, and they get away with it.

And Chris, they have more Beatles LPS and more "rare items". This really is ridiculous and needs to be stopped.

Just pathetic.

Scott, you are right. How they continue to get away with it I'll never know. Every one of their "mobster cuts" were done by one person. And the 'authenticators" of that garbage is Chris Morales, Forensic Investigator and TTA/Ted Taylor.

If this month's focus is indeed on criminals, perhaps Scott, Lee and Chris could hand-sign a few Baseballs and Index Cards. They may not realize big bucks, but at least you know these might be authentic

A couple days ago I got a call from a gentleman in the military who bought a ton of signed items through a military auction site.

He called me to find out what his Ali signed items were worth, but said he had a ton of Mantle signed stuff also.

He tells me he has COA's for all of them, of course I ask who and I hear the names Morales, Ted Taylor and this Burczyk guy who has come up recently.

I told him to get his money back.

Saddest part. He's hinging his hopes on a Mantle signed ball he sent to PSA to have authenticated. I asked him if he sent the authentication with it and he says there was a Morales hologram sticker on it.

He said he called PSA ahead of time about the ball and mentioned Morales, and they acted like they had heard of him but didn't really know anything about him. Send in the ball with your 75 bucks and we'll check it out, they said.

Pretty sad IMO. Guy got screwed by the bad guys and the supposed good guys at the same time.

I can't blame PSA for a situation like that. Remember the sting that JSA fell for. What if the signed Mantle baseball was already authenticated by PSA and someone stuck a Morales hologram on it and then sent it to PSA to try to sting them. PSA, and rightfully so, cannot assume that it was a legitimate caller.

As someone who has no expertise in the autograph field, my immediate impression was also; same pen/signer. I mean, if a know-nothing like me can figure it out, where do they get their suckers........er, clients?
