The funny thing is when I went to the National in Chicago to get a Ruth ball graded I first took the ball to one of the really big auction houses and thats pretty much what they told me when I asked them who should I have grade it. PSA spends way more on advertising and people who dont even collect know PSA logo.

If you purchased it for $350.00 thats an amazing price for any authentic Cobb auto in that condition. The price would be the only thing that would make me wonder about it.

Knowing what his cuts sell for on reputable auction sites I was a little skeptical myself, that's the main reason I put it on here. I guess in the end if I'm happy with it and feel it's real I should just save the $150 on authentication. More so my wife would slap me up side the head if I got bad news from PSA.

Seems to be in poor taste to get a quote from Richard for his services and then post the same item on a board he is known to frequent for freebie opinions. Kind of like getting a quote from a mechanic and then working on your car in the parking lot across from his shop: it's not illegal, but probably not the best way to do things.

First off I just signed up on this thing and had no idea who he was. I came across his website while browsing and decided to call and get some answers and his pricing. Pardon my ignorance but I thought this site would open up a good discussion and educate myself in the process. Up until a few days ago I thought I had to send this thing in to get authenticated. Now I'm unsure and that's why I seek a little counsel.
I had no intention of being misleading and showing Richard any disrespect.

richard should do a "quick opinion" style like psa for a minimal cost. there are alot of uncerted signed items i see everyday that i'm kinda unsure about and i think would be great if i could get a quick opinion from richard. maybe not the high end or rare stuff that would cut into his bottom line, but the more common autos in the $50-$200 range to get his expertise.

Casey,
My apologies if I jumped to any conclusions. I assumed that you had found and contacted Richard through the site rather than independently. Seems that was not the case, so I'll step back out of the discussion and continue chewing on my foot rather than running off new members
