Authentic or Fake? You be the judge

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

Why all the secrets, Richard?

Richard:

In the past you've made some allusions to possibly knowing the source of some of the forgeries and it seems as if some others here are in the know as well (a reference to Florida, if I recall correctly).

I understand why you wouldn't publicly name names based on suspicion only.

Just curious... would the suspect(s) be names we'd recognize?

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?).

Wow, Dan! Just looked at the website. Almost as good as Coach's!

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'.
