COBB DECAL BAT & AMERICAN MEMORABILIA
Posted By: Robert Plancich
I recently saw where Troy Kinunen, Director of SCD's Authentication services posted a photo of Cobb with some kind of bat. Nick Martinez of American Memorabilia (AM)posted a comment saying something about "common sense" that I frankly didn't understand. However, I would like to say that my comments (not that they have any profound effect or carry any weight different from anyone elses) were not meant to disparage AM and/or the items that they auction. I know for a fact that Victor Moreano, president of AM, spends a lot of money to have the items in his auction authenticated by, according to industry standards, the top experts. In the case of the Ty Cobb decal bat the consignor submitted this item for auction and Messrs. Bushing/Kinunen/SCDA issued an LOA on this bat. IMHO AM did the right thing by having the bat authenticated and the blame, if any, should be placed on the authenticators, not the auction house. |

I know that Bushing (not sure about Kinunen) used to work for Mastro two or three years ago, but have been on their own or with SCD since then. I believe that Mastro uses them in the same capacity as American Memorabilia, Leland's, Robert Edward, SportsCards Plus and the others do. |

COBB DECAL BAT & AMERICAN MEMORABILIA

I am a frequent visitor of this site and a collector of game used memorabilia. Primarliy bats and jerseys. What is Robert trying to accomplish with his posts? I have no problem posting an opinion on a specific piece of memorabilia; but his continuous rants are clearly targeted to discredit a person who in my opinion is very reputable. I purchase memorabilia from MastroNet, Lelands, Hunts, etc and respect the opinion of experts when I make these purchases. Mr Plancich is painting a picture of a Dave Bushing that is absolutely untrue. As a matter of fact the posts are full of lies...for instance: |

I know the Dave Bushing who 5 years ago was sent a bat alleged to be a store model Ruth after he agreed to pay $1,000 for it. When it arrived he found it to be a gamer. He called the seller (outside the hobby) and paid them 10's of thousands of dollars. |
