Mantle forgery by Probstein123 I'm a little shocked
I've bought plenty from these guys over the years.Their merchandise has always been quality stuff. Stand up Venders, too.
Lately, It's seems they're slipping a little.

That seller's very good. I'm sure he doesn't realize that it's one of the machine-signed Florida forgeries. Send him a note. Direct him here if you want, since more opinions are sure to appear.

Probstein123 got back to me. He said, most GAIs are off, but we thought this one was good.
Wow! With all due respect that thing isn't even close. Live and learn.

It's obvious to us because we know the forgery so long and so well and they're so consistent. They fooled a lot of people, a lot of good dealers, for a long time. They still do today.

Absolutely. I guess what bothers me, He knows the GAIs certificates that go through there are known to be bogus. Why take a chance on one? I'm reading too much into it. I think it was just an oversight. An honest mistake.

John,
I don't think you're reading too much into it. There were lots of genuine GAIs, at least early on, so the best thing to do would have been not to sell it. It makes him look bad offering any GAI. Your feelings about it are a prime example of that!
Like a lot of dealers, once it's certed by PSA, JSA or Beckett, it seems to be fine for him. Many consider them the final authority and the odds of getting something pulled is slim. That's often OK, but headbanging things like the Ringo/Paul SP just make me cringe.

Steve, I have sent messages to him numerous times over the years and never got a response.
I sent him a message the other day about the aforementioned forged Mantle.
If you scroll down the below page, he also sold a forged Jeter.

I messaged the seller about this item and received no response, probably because it unfortunately was authenticated by PSA/DNA.

To me that McCartney was clearly fake. All I know is this new group at PSA/DNA does not impress me at all.

They're also offering this as a full set of Beatles autographs, even though the COA from Beatles Marketplace correctly states that Paul signed on John's behalf.
