Antiquities of California....

I happen to use the same frame shop that this place does,and from time to time I am able to go in the back and see some of the horrible pieces this place is getting framed and matted , then passing off as authentic.Stevie Ray Vaughn's last autograph comes to mind,supposedly signed and dated for a security guard as he was getting on the helicopter,I have seen guitars signed by Elvis,Jim Morrison,& Jimi Hendrix, lots of bad Ruth/Gehrig pieces,it's a joke.But they are all double certified! This is an email exchange I had with the owner Toby back in June on the Ruth/Gehrig ball I posted on page 1 of the thread. Notice there was no reply from her after I mentioned a couple names.

> Hi from Antiquities at The Forum Shops. Here is an extraordinary baseball treasure of a piece which is now available.
>
> Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, two of the very greatest names in Baseball history, signed, dated and doubly certified. The ball is somewhat aged, and the red stitching dates it to the year it was signed. The signatures are 10s, and it is hand dated 1935. This is in a terrific shadowbox display that pays tribute to Baseball's most important icons, with biography on the right side and Yankees prop ticket. Retail is $19,995 and your price $16,000.

There are no words to describe what that store sells. Horrific, ugly, and putrid forgeries.

Look at those Michael Jordan forgeries.

Ms. Stoffa cannot possibly defend the pieces she sells to the public, although I would love to hear her try to.

Wow,,, a female entering this world and selling this stuff, that is new,,,this world of slime balls, unconscionable greed, unmitigated gaul, with autographs that are being mocked by this board, pure thievery and with no remorse or second thoughts on her part.
Maybe it is time to make a phone call.

She has two COA's, if she tried to defend herself that is what she would say.

All of that crap that originates from Coach's Corner, headed by Scott Malack & Lee Trythall, always find its way into stores across America and purchased by ignorant buyers.

Yes, time for a phone call.

Awful garbage, like America's memories that used to be at Mohegan Sun

There is nothing in this store that is real. Been there many times.

Not the worst I've seen, and I'm not as good with Wall-Cut era Floyd as with 84-up, but I wouldn't buy any of em. These nice complete sets in gold/silver ink on what may be(?) actual period LPs scare me to death.

I'm trying to be circumspect here, my preemptive apologies if anything is incorrect; just my thoughts as a reasonably seasoned Floyd collector.

It's always nice to see another Pink Floyd collector/fan. I saw them after Animals and The Wall. More recently just Roger Waters. Incredible shows!
Did you ever see a Syd Barrett auto?
