Why do you want to join Autograph Live?

I had a bad Mantle for sale on ebay. I've been involved in the hobby for over 20 years and knew nothing about this Christopher Morales authenticator. I purchased the piece at a swap meet for $150 and was convinced it was a good autograph. Did Mr. Morales only authenticate for forgers? I am going to send the piece to James Spence as I'm humiliated by this experience. I have Salvino Mantles and his stat sheet auto and it compares very favorably. As soon as someone informed me of my mistake, I removed the piece and have learned a tough lesson. I don't think it's fair for you to post my e bay name as I have been a very good e bayer and this is an honest mistake.
