Piedmont Cards / ACE Authenticated Babe Ruth Signed Silver Certificates

[RichardSimon]

Did I hear anyone say US Attorney/Postal Inspector investigation?
Some members of this board have already had discussions with postal inspectors and US Attorneys about ongoing transgressions.
Frank, you can help out here.
Give us the names of the people/places you bought all that bad crap from.
You might turn out to be a hero.
You can write to me privately with the names, I realize that you won't want to expose them here on the board. I will pass along the names to the proper people.

I agree with Richard.

When I saw this last year on ebay, it was all i ever needed to know about Justin Priddy.

attached photo 1 is a wife signed rocky marciano photo that was on ebay with an email quick opinion from justin priddy at ace, that called the signed photo a genuine rocky marciano.

photo #2. shows the quick opinion email that the seller posted.

when the seller was informed that the photo was NOT signed by rocky marciano, but by his wife, and shown proof, all of the sudden the email that was posted changed to the email shown in photo 3, which said the quick opinion could not be processed due to lack of payment, this was an earlier email that ace sent back to the seller. All of the sudden the seller wasn't so happy with the second later email that said it was good.

photo 3, lack of payment email replacing the email that said the signed photo was a good marciano signed photo. Priddy's fault was to certify the wife signed as good. Not in switching emails to the previous one. that was the sellers attempt to cover for the fact the signature was no good.

photo 4 and 5 are other wife signed marciano autographs, which looks nothing like a real marciano autograph , which is photo 6.

I emailed Priddy and told him we are trying to get the fakes off of ebay, not certify them, and I got no response. If this is in error, Justin please come on here and clarify. If you don't know marciano's signature, just pass.

He doesn't know a wife signed marciano from a real one. how can that be? he must have a wife signed marciano autograph mistakenly in his examplar files, but how can he have one of those next to real marciano examples, they look nothing alike if you look close at them. He is suppose to be good at this. It's basic marciano 101 education in knowing this wife signed autograph example. He says he is the worlds leader with the deepest exemplar files.

Great information, Travis. Thanks for posting that.

That Marciano is HILARIOUS. I don't understand how anyone could be so stupid as to not know the difference. And if he had a "large exemplar" file, he would have just more than the wife version.

Its really good that this guy and his "dethentication" skills are being exposed. On an aside, a lot of the Matty stuff, and other stuff looks EERILY similar to stuff I have seen on Coach's. Someone is buying that crap and trying to move it, not just dumb dealers. Im NOT accusing Mr Prisco of that, but its apparent someone is taking that route.

Making strides in the fight against these crooks is better than standing w feet in quicksand.

If only Frank Prisco would come forward and talk to LE about his sources of these items.
If they are the same sources as CC, we could finally bury CC.
Wouldn't that be a nice fringe benefit of this mess.
Frank - I appeal to you to write to me privately and I can help you get in touch with the right people.

Richard, I wish I could be optimistic about that kind of action being taken, but I'm not.

In my opinion, it's easy to speculate that if Mr. Prisco had thirteen (13) Christy Mathewson cut signatures up for sale on his website, and if, as he wrote, already sold four other Christy Mathewson cut sigs, is it possible that the total number he's purchased over the years could total 30, 50, 75, 100, etc?

For one person to be able to purchase seventeen (17) Christy Mathewson cut sigs is incomprehensible. And for one authenticator (Justin Priddy, ACE) not to raise an eyebrow at that number is also incomprehensible.

But, no matter what the number is, the cut sigs are horrific.

There is not much more to be said about ACE after seeing those Marciano items.
WOW!!
