A Jimmy Spence authentication question.

I don't provide an opinion unless I am confident in it. I never claimed to be a Ruth expert.

Perhaps whoever is directing Travis can provide some tips and insights as to why the signatures in question are suspect and then Travis can copy and paste the info here. I'm always willing to learn.

I post my own stuff and at my own direction, but you can feel free to report back to psa and jsa.

Another winner Ali from the world experts. They are so good at their job I am just in awe on a daily basis.

But Travis can never criticize Chris Morales for certing in the hundreds (maybe thousands) the below Muhammad Ali.

This one must be Travis' fault, too. Or maybe Peter Nash's. Or maybe it's mine!

All I know is, we can't blame PSA for this.

By the way, just in case anyone actually cares about the item that started this all. There were no huge auto signings for Negro Leaguers, other than a couple reunions. NL collectors will recognize this piece as one that rode around in the back of the van belonging to a midwest man who went to these players' houses to do signings. No COA needed.

It will be my fault or Peter's or someones. Anyones but PSA's. What's 1300 dollars between friends anyway?

People will come and spin their wheel of excuses and come up with one of the following.


They are the best we got.

They get it right the majority of the time.

You are just cherry picking.

They are generally accepted in the hobby.

They increase the value of your autograph. (yeah, from zero to 1300 dollars.)

When is enough enough?

I will ask the same question I have asked after the Honus Wagner disappearing autograph story. Is THIS enough?

I await the obligatory deflecting of the issue at hand by showing someone elses non sequitor authentication that has nothing to do with it.

Enough for what? What should we do?
