Authentic or Fake? You be the judge

i'm not on here to trash people - but i've sent the same items to at 3 experts and try and determine my own thoughts since i'm the one concerned for my clients and my company. and I will not post any failures that JSA or PSA passed ,,,, and u seem to know more then I do Richard. For the record - My trust is at the highest level for many of u,,, and that includes everyone u mentioned - but it's my decision not to let anyone cert my items that also sell,, and I said thats mine and my biz partners decision. And the auction house was Leg. at the national. Also, for the record I would give Kevin Keating any item as he was our choice but his certs say buy and sell. And it's my belief no one knows more about odd sig. then Rhys Yeakley and both guys I would trust with anything > that said > dosen't mean the public knows them. And Richard I have no regrets selling anything u would cert. Understand everyone is playing on a different playing field because of perception because of size of company and advertising. I'm more concerned with the correct answer that I can sell. And i'm not in the biz of bashing. A forum or meeting any place would be great. Rhys texted me letting me know about the Abbott and Costello - I agree somethings sounds crazy.

Mike - thats what i'm trying to stop. I'd rather ripe up the item then search for a yes - and YES i'm spending alot of time and money until i'm satisfied with the product i sell. I'm looking for constant anwers on a perc. i can live with as well my insurance coverage.

And I never said ACE was the answer. But I know he's not a bad guy. May fall into the not good enough.

Is it ACE or ICE (I Cert Everything)?

You are correct Richard, a seller can post any autograph on eBay. But, eBay will take PSA or JSA's opinion over anyone else's in regard to the item in question, and if the item has a cert from someone, even you Richard, and PSA/DNA's QO states it is bad, eBay will remove it.

Also, if you have a number of item's that PSA/DNA's QO doesn't like over time, then eBay will remove your account from their website.

So, in a back door sort of way, PSA and JSA are eBay's lap dogs.

But ebay only recommends them, there is a misconception out there that you must use them to post an autograph on ebay.
THAT IS TOTALLY UNTRUE

Nice find Chris,,, I think I know who actually signed that sheet.

You (Frank) have 13 different cut signatures of Christy Mathewson in your store, all authenticated by Justin Priddy.

How did you get so many? Isn't that....I don't know, a lot?

You have 42 different Babe Ruth autographs, all authenticated by Justin Priddy (or whatever AMA is, isn't that mixed martial arts?).

Here's another one I found. It's a hand-written letter from Lou Gehrig authenticated by ACE (Justin Priddy).

Check out the "S" in Sincerely and the "L" in Lou. They are identical.

Nice light table copy of a Gehrig letter that sold, IINM, in the Halper auction. Made, I'm sure, by the same guy who did the Ruth note.

Keep 'em comin'.
