Now the TPA's must be using crystal balls to authenticate the signature of someone who could not write (boxer Tom Sayers).
"Both PSA/DNA and James Spence believe this piece to be authentic, but are unable to issue paperwork due to an absence of exemplars." -- from the Heritage Auction catalog. and this after the TPA's issued COA's and then withdrew them, when the auction house was called to task on a handwritten piece, allegedly written by Tom Sayers. Oh, they believe it to be authentic. Well, considering that we are in a hobby that is free of fraud  , who can blame them for their beliefs? The Sayers item sold for over $10K, I guess the person who bought it has the same beliefs as the TPA's. In this case I think I would be an atheist. Is this just ridiculous or am I being too much of a cynic? I can accept the fact that mistakes can be made, we have all made them, but this instance cannot be described as a mistake.
