A local church is having a charity auction this weekend. The big item up for grabs is a guitar signed Paul McCartney. After reading the thread about bad items ending up in charity auctions and knowing zero about Beatle related items, I humbly ask for opinions on this one.

If questionable, I'll email the church to find out who supplied the items and the COAs. Other items for auction are a Sly Stallone signed boxing glove, and signed photos of John Glen, Mickey Mantle, and Charlton Heston. 

Thank you!

Has Michael Tobin been discussed on AML? Name rings a bell, but I don't know him like I know of Nurse.

Good for you Brian, for trying to do the right thing.

The items for this auction are being supplied by Charity Grow out of New York. Here is a link to the site http://www.charitygrow.com/fundraising-items/autographed-guitars/

I WOULD NOT SPEND 1 CENT ON THIS GUY.

The T Swift guitar is a bad fake. I have about 10 Taylor autographs and know hers in and out.

FAKE

REAL:

Sent Jerk a message

It's amazing, they redirected the link to their available auction items and removed all of the items from their site. That was fast.

Clink link and items are gone.. It's like Magic.

latest from the church contact: 

"From what I can understand Anthony (and that that is not even his real name) has been being attacked for the last year (and rightfully so) and is NOT the CEO. AS Charity Fundraising is not the Autograph Store from my understanding. The Autograph Store is headquarted in NJ, AS Charity Fundraising is in NY,NY."

I explained AS is Charity Grow which was Autograph Store. Just seems like a lot of yellow flags, no? She's calling other charities for references. I'm begging her to give Roger $15 for a quick opinion. Or at least get them to put in writing they'll refund if deemed fake by Roger or PSA. 

I did a quick search on their phone # using (212) 239-1827 from the Charity Grow page here and also used their fax # as a 2nd back up # to search for, and up popped the Autograph Store's info on Google with the same phone and fax#  here

edit:  Please feel free to send them this information from my post.  Make sure the links show up however, as sometimes copy and paste doesn't hang onto links.

And this directly from their own FB

McCartney and Swift look like the CRAP they sell in Vegas in the Hotels, the name Tony Trumane strike a cord for anyone, hides in Mexico sells his crap in Vegas and elsewhere, he is one of the biggest suppliers of crap out there, anyone know him?
