[mr2686]

Looks like ACE forgot rule #1...was the item available to sign during the signers lifetime.

Frank, did one coin shop in Philly sell you all those Ruth's and Matty's?
If I were you , you have a chance to be a hero here. Work with LE and get those guys busted.
There have been forgery busts in PA before, Hooper I believe was the gentleman's name. Track down that case and get in touch with the LE that busted him.

I'm having my Biz partner Stef Brown ESQ. handle from this point and we can pin -point 3 dealers - Shops,,,,, we will get to the bottom ,,,, naturally i'm pissed,,,, and Stef suggested that we want to make sure all the info left in this forum is correct. And a big issue is how i handle Justin Priddy - Thats a great deal of money spent. I wont be the first and im sure I wont be the last to be made to look like a fool.

It's how you handle the situation and yourself after the fact, which you will be judged on, most of the times. Mistakes happen. If you aren't making mistakes you probably aren't pushing the boundaries far enough, imho.

Oh, come on, Frank. Do you really expect that "I was duped" crap to play?

Frank, did you also ask Justin Priddy (ACE) why he authenticated those Babe Ruth signed Silver Certificates?

[RichardSimon]

Frank: Justin why did you authenticate those Babe Ruth signed Silver Certificates? I pay you good money to do the job right.
Justin: Uh, duh, duh, uh,,,, gotta go Frank.

Actually, maybe it was a babe named Ruth?

Leon you just reminded me of my favorite Ruth autograph ever!

[RichardSimon]

I have caught several other items the same way over the years including a Ruth signed picture with a printed insciption at the bottom that said "Greatest Ever right fielder" or something like that. Problem is the "greatest ever" series of photos came out in 1950.
I do my homework when I buy and when I authenticate, guess some others don't.

I would love to hear from Mr. Priddy (ACE).
