Good call Bilko,, I hope you are wrong but I think you are right.
I hope he did not sucker someone into paying him a grand for that Cobb.
The fact that it is still in PSA's database is the definitive answer regarding what Don did with the autograph.
I hope that if the autograph was sold that the buyer stumbles onto this thread.

Is there a chance that Donovan did have a legit Cobb signature in that case, removed it from the case and somehow was able to reseal the case with the questionable signature with the hope of resubmitting the cut sig that was originally in the case?

Is the only known image the one used on ebay when trying to sell? Although the case appears intact in the image, he could have enhanced the image.

someone could try to do that, but the case is suppose to be tamper evident.

when psa slabs an autograph, it does not take a picture of it, unless the submitter pays a separate fee for a full loa in addition to the slabbing, so abuse like that could occur if someone could figure out how to crack a case and reseal it without it frosting on the edges or losing its rigidity like psa claims is the case when people crack the case.

we will never find out what happened because donovan said one thing and did another, just like we predicted. there was something fishy going on and we asked him to dispel the suspicion by letting someone independent look at the autograph, and he adamantly refused making flimsy excuses, thus only making it look worse for him like he had something to hide, which we think he did.

People who are not at fault and have nothing to hide do not make every attempt to filibuster and destroy the piece the instant they say they receive it back.

he said PSA told him they are going to void the cert, and it STILL shows up in PSA's database. This tells us that PSA must want it both ways - take the autograph out of circulation without admitting it is a laser copy instead saying that there are superman individuals out there that have the ability to copy an autograph EXACTLY by hand, but also having the description in their database STILL say that the autograph is legitimate.

why hasn't the onine cert been cancelled by PSA?

Nobody took responsibility for what looks like an exact laser copy,this is just what they wanted to do with this autograph, and the hobby suffers for it, again.

donovan won't talk, psa won't talk. money changed hands, silence prevails, and we couldn't get answers.

Travis, he never sent it back, PSA never called it fake, and he didn't destroy it. It WILL change hands if it hasn't already.

I agree Jim. I think he never sent it to PSA but instead sold it.

And Donavon if you are still reading this thread, nice to really know what type of guy you really are. Though, we had a pretty good idea when you tried to sell the Cobb on the BST right after it was pulled from the bay.
Could Donavon have created the piece originally, I am not saying he did, but who knows?
And like I have said earlier,, who knows how many entombed autographs have this same problem?
The person who did this, whoever it is, is not going to stop at one.
He found a way to crookedly make easy money, those type of guys don't stop, as we all well know.
And I have to steal a signature file from someone over on the card side now:

Maybe PSA stands for:

"Please Submit Again"
"Pretty Sh!tty Assesment"
"Pretty Stinkin Awful"
"Please Smoke Another"
"Please Stop Authenticating"

yes the simplest explanation now is that donovan never sent the cut back to psa, which is a shame if true. i feel bad for giving him the benefit of the doubt and defending him at the beginning.

Don't feel bad about this, he is/was a liar who fooled others. Fortunately nobody (hopefully) on the board wound up buying the Cobb.
