Add Beckett to the bad COA list- Check out this Paul!

This is obviously the Southern California forger getting his items now authenticated by Beckett! Seeing as these guys used to work at PSA/DNA, I think its probably a risk to trust either source without a 3rd party from one of the experts that we all know!

I've heard of a buyer buying on the premise of the autographs will pass one of these co, from a ip grapher, after submission they failed. After a quick email or phone call to the man, he said they'd pass them because of who had them signed.
So many dealers use the sale pitch, gaurenteed to pass ant tpa or money back and usually the graphs are so sloppy.

When I got first sight of Beckett I thought what the hell is there no one in US to stop this company! Why don't they sell popcorn or fish & ships....

THANK YOU RICK MEYER!

That is exactly what me as an ebay seller feels when a buyer wants to return an autograph that is 100% real but these JSA and PSA guys turn it down for whatever reason.

Whenever I receive a request for return due to a JSA or PSA fail I make certain to mention the buyer should google "hauls of shame psa jsa" for great "exemplars" of their failings in the authentication business. My personal favorites are the Clem Labine authenticated as "Ernie Davis" or the James Earl Ray authenticated as "James Earl Jones" or the facsimile signed wrestling magazine cover deemed authentic Andre the Giant.

Great point Jason. Those autographs you sell have a better chance of passing those services if you the dealer submitted them in bulk regularly as a volume customer before selling them. The authentication rate drops if they are submitted individually by the lowest level of importance......the lowly collector.

Some people don't care if they have forgeries as long as it has a sticker they will continue to beat the TPA drum rather then admit they've been had like a sucker and take a loss.
