You stated; "You should change the authenticty page to say . GOOD LUCK GETTING A REFUND . " on this public blog. I have never refused a single refund based off a competent authenticator putting in writing that we "may" have made a mistake. For this, I will take further action!! NO threat!!. Regarding the Tiger Woods, I will help you out any way you want me to. Would you like me to get other experts putting in writing they believe it is authentic? I will.

Comment by Anthony Bautista on October 4, 2010 at 6:01pm: I understand , I know they are only opinions . I dont live and die by jsa or psa. But I did my homework on the Woods autograph myself. I just thought you would have handled the situation a little bit better and helped me out. The only help you gave me (or whoever emailed me back ) was that jsa and psa are wrong and that I should go to autographalert and read all the horror stories.

Comment by Anthony Bautista on October 4, 2010 at 5:57pm: Wow. Nice, now you are you using scare tatics . All I wanted was a refund. I thought you would have helped me out. You could prove the autograph is real or at least help me out like you helped the other person out.

Comment by Todd Mueller on October 4, 2010 at 5:56pm: AB- Companies don't authenticate autographs, people do!

Comment by Todd Mueller on October 4, 2010 at 5:56pm: Roger- You are 100% correct. When I saw all the PSA'd Schulz's and I knew the forger I went to Charles Schulz himself. He stated he drew them. Turned out the forger used an overhead projector and traced originals

It has already been checked out, that is why it was offered but I can look into it further. It appears this was nothing more than an attempt to publicly blast me for having an honorable policy that most respect. What AB has posted is inaccurate and harmful and I may be forced to look at other options as well.

Comment by Anthony Bautista on October 4, 2010 at 5:54pm: Thats fine if a dealer doesnt want to accept psa or jsa's opinion .But that fine I will go and have two people go and have it written in writing .

Comment by Anthony Bautista on October 4, 2010 at 5:48pm: Btw Bob Zaffian never turned it down . But I will email him a photo of the item and see what he thinks of it .

Comment by Anthony Bautista on October 4, 2010 at 5:47pm: Yes Kip Ingle works for jsa , its a known fact. He is there golf expert. Ive said about 5 times that Jsa and Psa turned it down . I emailed you the rejection letters in july of 2009 .

Comment by roger epperson on October 4, 2010 at 5:47pm: I know nothing about Tiger's autograph but in the court of law Tiger's agent is not a handwriting expert and that defense does not hold water. A handwriting expert does though.
