While JSA and PSA have made mistakes, there is no way that the amount of bad stuff certified by them is anywhere near equal to the amount of bad autographs that have been certified by the "rubber-Stampers" or from the other major dealers who were found to be selling a large amount of fakes.

the amount isn't as important as the total $ amount of realized sales. which isn't even close though. a ten dollar mantle versus a 50,000, 100,000, or 150,000 dollar or more signed ball?

What about 20,000 Mantles that sold anywhere between $20.00 and $100.00? Add to that 1,000 Ali signed photos that sold anywhere between $20.00 and $100.00? Etc., etc.

So the amount still isn't important?

I had a customer with brough in 6 Dozen bad Dimaggio balls who paid $125 apiece, along with a ton of other bad stuff.. Probably in total the guy had about $20K worth of stuff that was no good. I just don't think many understand how much bad stuff is out there that gets purchased by the uninformed on a daly basis.

Has anyone made up a fake auto and sent it in to get a letter from him?

You're right, Sportsnutcards, that not too many are aware how much bad stuff is really out there. To tell you the truth, the number is incomprehensible to the average collector; the other truth is that people don't want to believe it.

Here is that piece of crap forgery. Another piece of crap "authenticated" by Ted Taylor.
