Ty cobb autograph cut - psa/dna 9 mint

[keithsky]

Why are you guys jumping on this Donovon guy. I'm sure PSA isn't going to drop everything to look at this Cobb autograph. Heck according to Richards statement the guy was supposed to send in the Cobb to PSA on the 23rd. Ok give it a few days for mail to get to PSA now it's the 26th then figure in a weekend and today is only the 4th. So maybe PSA has had it in there possesion for a few days. PSA probably won't look at it for a couple weeks. Blame them not this Donovon guy. Maybe he didn't send it in on the 23rd maybe the 24th or 25th. What is the big impatience. PSA isn't going to admit fault if if it is fake.

exactly, they arent going to admit fault if it is a fake, not to the general public anyway, but there are going to admit its a fake to donovan himself, then they are going to structure an agreement to keep it on the down low in exchange for consideration. that is what has most likely happened, if not, let's hear from you donovan!

donovan always checked in every few days. now its a couple of weeks and no word from donovan. He is MIA, people have had better luck finding someone in the witness protection program than get a word from donovan. we have sent him PM's and emails as well as posting here and on the memorabilia forum and he hasn't even said that psa hasn't gotten word back. we havent heard anything.

He went from considering suing people who suggested it was a fake, to playing the part of howard hughes, the world renown recluse.

we all know what happened.

Keith - we are not "jumping" on Donovan. He stated some things that he has not followed through on. He stated way back when that he was going to post some signed Ted Williams photos that looked "exactly" alike, according to his analysis.
Considering how anxious he was to resolve the problem I am pretty sure he sent it to PSA on the 23rd. Considering that PSA was getting negative publicity from this item, I am pretty sure it was moved up on their calendar once it arrived at their offices.
The fact that he has not posted here nor answered any of Travis' communications would indicate that he has gone into witness protection and the strong possibility exists that we won't hear from him again.
We just would like answers, he seemed to be trying to do the right thing but now he is nowhere to be found.

Okay, conspiracy theorists. First off, I was unable to make it home on the 23rd as I was supposed to. I flew in for one week in another city for a new government class on new regulations for my industry. Then, had to come back to work early because my counterpart had a death in the family. I never made it home. I am now back at work for my normal two weeks at my workplace. PSA has the cut signature. My wife mailed it out via air mail last week. They are currently examining it, as I am told by Jackie Curiel (secretary to the president). I have no other information until their review is final. As for the Williams' pics..... I can't help you if I'm not home to take pictures. You will just have to wait another 2 weeks like I do. So.....put the pitchforks down & wait until there is actually more information to share.

Thanks,
Donavon

some here expect you to stop your life, quit your job, leave your wife, fly to CA with the cobb, knock down psa door, demand joe orlando to explain the cut and the 300k ruth baseballs, and report back to the board on march 24th...because that's what an honorable man of his word would do.

...anything less and psa paid you off or you're in cahoot with orlando and part of the problem...be damn with common sense and patience. the obsession is getting scary.

I'm starting to see that. Forget the fact that I haven't seen my wife & kids in over a month, but hey.....PSA has the Cobb now.....thanks to my wife. LOL.

he simply said he would be around on the 23rd to post the pictures, which he didn't and he never showed up. that's not our fault. two weeks went by and nothing, so we had every right to be skeptical. He must have been visiting the land of no computers he couldn't quickly log on and tell us why the delay? we didnt expect the verdict from psa on the 23rd, but we did expect him to keep his word and show up like he promised. we didnt grab the pitchforks on the 23rd, the next day would have been fine, or the next day, or the next day, or the next day. but two more weeks go by a guy has to wonder.

I am still very interested to see what psa has to say.

donovan, thanks for posting.

the pitchforks were never up, but when you said you would be around on the 23rd to put up the picture of the williams sigs, we took you at your word.

thanks for keeping us updated. keep us posted every few days.
