Hello everyone, I am new here and very much need some guidance.  I am a sportscard buyer and seller on ebay, id is lookingforhonus, nothing crazy, just gives me a chance to crack open boxes and feed my obsession. Being from Canada we don't see much baseball here, but I am always amazed at the items available,  going to the National in Baltimore, I always wonder as I walk by, how did they get this or that, so I started looking into estate sales.  Anyway, I recently purchased a Babe Ruth/Ty Cobb/Honus Wagner autographed Coca Cola bridge score pad from an estate sale.  It came with a LOA from AAU.  Now, my question or concerns are, I did not even know or heard of this many forgeries until I started looking into how much I could resell this for.  I have seen other items on Ebay that come with LOA's from AAU and have sold.  I sent this item to a online appraiser, they had no issues with the Ruth or Cobb, I was just told the Wagner is "very favorable in comparison to others, but are not 100% on the "g" in Wagner.  I always felt that if an item came with proper LOA's accompanied by proper documentation it should be legit. I am just confused as to what I should really do, I do not want to list this on Ebay and have them pull it or it becomes a big fake and ruin my reputation and so far my enjoyable experience buying and selling on the auction sites.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank You.

I think you will be hard pressed to find anyone on here who will like anything authenticated by Drew Max. I don't know anything about the sigs presented but AAU gets bashed when they are brought up.

Based on what some of us have seen and know about, I wouldn't be surprised if more than 99% of autographs authenticated by AAU/Drew Max are fake. Post your scorecard on eBay as an auction (without the AAU LOA if you want to eliminate concerns about bias) and ask for PSA/DNA a Quick Opinion. Or just wait for opinions here. 

Thanks, I'll try that.

Those autographs are garbage!!!!  The usual s**t certed by Drew Max.   And Max calls himself a Forensic Document Examiner (FDE)!!!!  You gotta be kidding me!!!!

Here's a link to one of my many articles on Drew Max.
