<p>Exactly! He poached one other guy and figured they would train the rest. The owner lives in India and he is never in the building. I have hear moral is bad. Then you have Grad who is just a nut-case, completely falsifying the training and education he had. He is a loser.</p>

<p>Steve, you have had no experience with Grad if you think that. The guy is really shady. He screwed up PSA and then leaves (which was a blessing for them). I have seen so many mistakes he has made. Are you unaware they he spent years lying about his credentials? </p>

<p>I have spotted fakes within the sets that Historic Autographs does. Guess who does all their authentication, Beckett, the owner, Heffner followed him there when he left PSA. Then they are buddies, they FB buddies and cozy up. Talk about a conflict of interest. Orlando was just let go from PSA so I think they are trying really change the culture there. There is no hope for an organization that is lead by a fraud and complete moron at times. I have heard of some terrible antics at shows. Steve, I thought you were all over this stuff and would know all the garbage going on and how Grad is a joke of person.</p>

<p>Hi Michelle! Exactly! That's why I find that particular piece appealing. I have always preferred autographed candid shots, especially of presidents. There are a number of official JFK presidential photo portraits available that have very nice inscriptions and signatures. But they are so common. I'd like to have a photo that is seldom seen or one of kind. Sadly, I dont' think I'm going to be able to make a deal on that photo. Like Steve Cyrkin pointed out, the photo is a little beat-up.

<p>I rather like it;- its quirky and original and a one off. Not sure how clear the sigs are though but its certainly a nice item to own as long as the buyer doesnt ask too much for it</p>

<p>Some sellers take a while to respond, or are away, so unless it's been a couple of days, I wouldn't be concerned about that.</p>
<p>Just make sure you know all about the photo's condition, etc., before you make an offer, if you do. </p>
<p>As for when he signed it, check APImages.com and Getty Images/Hulton Archive (<a href="http://www.photos.com" target="_blank">www.photos.com</a>). If you can find the photo you'll know when it was taken. That could tell you right there if he signed it as…</p>

<p>The "Object Description" really helped fill in a lot of information about the history of the photo, including year and identity of the individual to whom the photo was inscribed. </p>
<p>Thank you again for your detective work.</p>
