Authenticity is Everything
JSA signed items
I collect Andy Griffith Show items. Have been for 20+ years. So when I see a signed item of Andy on Ebay I am very suspicious. Andy did no public signings. Very little actual pictures did he sign. So 98% on ebay are fakes. People unknowlingly paying hundreds for bogus items. Worst of all JSa and Global are authenticating them. Do they do any research on celebrities actual signature before authenticating items. Andy's longtime manager Richard O Linke would sit in his office and answer all of Andy's fan mail. And signed Andy's name. Worst of all if you do any research you can spot the many differences. I emailed global but no response. I didn't think JSA would send anything like this out on the market. This sours my collecting. How can I get ahold of these companies to tell them the truth. Please help me. Thank you

I know for a fact JSA recognizes the Heston secretarials. I believe PSA does as well.

Would it do any good to contact them. If you have a minute look at item # 190710362405. This is the one in question. The seller has a few others that are signed the same way that JSa authenticated. Then please look at item#221091217421. It is an item I have listed. It is a signed check. Look at the second pic. A closeup of his signature. The one that was mistakenly authenticated has been signed by Richard O Linke. He answered almost every fan letter that came in. He came close to the actual signature but a dead giveaway is the ff in griffith. I could go into more details but you get the picture. What I am afraid of is since his passing away more and more will get the same treatment. How can I let them know about this? Thanks

The likelyhood the TPAs will listen is directly proportional to the quality of the evidence. I provided the Heston case professionally and privately with a lot of photos and JSA responded in several days. PSA never replied to me, but evidence shows they accepted the findings.
They rarely if ever read message boards. You need to contact them directly. I suspect a lot of people with "feedback" write rude, incoherent messages and then wonder why the companies don't respond positively.

BTW, everything I've ever read indicates Griffith was a real nasty SOB... the mirror image of Sheriff Andy. In reality he was much closer to his character from A Face in the Crowd.

He was more of a private person than anything else. That's also why I liked him. I am the same way. Mind my own business. He did support charities and did alot of work for their causes. Anyway I will try to contact them about it. I am sure it will get nowhere. Thanks for replies.
