Can you post a clear COA sticker pick of that Bird/Magic piece. You cant read it. Also, that PSA sticker on that Ali glove, looks like it has been peeled from something else. That could just be the way the light is hitting it or the way it was applied though. Also J32257 (psa number of the glove) doesnt show up in the cert database. And it really does look like that sticker was peeled off something else.
Carl, I, too, noticed that peeling of the sticker.
I would love to see photos of some of the Mantle, DiMaggio, etc. autograph items if there were any.
The left hand side of that PSA sticker on the Ali glove is definitely peeling--you can even see the shadow underneath it. That's not a trick of the light.
Doesn't mean it was pulled off or anything nefarious, but it is a cause for at least slight concern.
That said, I had no problem pulling up the Cert Verification:

If the Wilt is authentic, it's the first I've ever seen with "The Stilt" in 40+ years in the hobby.
Common sense.
You better hold on to it cause it has to be very rare

Belligerent and combative? No. Just informative!
Pointing out that individuals who have trashed this reputable auction company have obviously made a mistake regarding pieces. The very pieces I have posted. I did this for the truth to be told. And for the wrong accusations to come to light.
I am including close-ups of the stickers of the 2 pieces. The other pieces, which also have PSA/DNA certs are at my office.
I'd still like to see photos of the Mantle, DiMaggio, etc. autograph items that were being sold at the show.
RE: "Response to Wilt comment:"
Yes. And, like all other rare pieces, they're saying that there's a higher chance of it being fake, as in 40 years doing it, they haven't seen one. Again, that doesn't say anything close to what you've claimed.
RE: "Belligerent and combative? No. Just informative!" They aren't mutually exclusive. It is possible to be both. As I said, there are better ways to say what you have to say while getting taken seriously. You have a much better chance of getting people to listen to what you're saying and entertain a reciprocal discussion with you if you don't come off so angry and, well, belligerent.
Logical fallacies aren't your friend.
You have the right to make your point however you wish, but if you do so in that way, knowing full well that it will cause people to tune you out, you have only yourself to blame if and when they do.
Brett I know myself as well as several others here do not take any authentication as "gospel". I have exposed several forgeries that JSA and PSA/DNA has certified, including this Mickey Mantle "autograph" that ended last night:

Yeah, there are a couple different cert verification pages. One does not bring up those numbers, the other does.
Ah.
Frankly, I haven't trusted the PSA Cert Verification system after finding one of my items had no picture and them inviting me to take it and add it myself.
And, as I've said, I don't take any authenticator's word as gospel, nor should I (or any other serious collector). I've seen them all screw up--it's the nature of the job.
The question in choosing one isn't whether they're right or wrong; it's whether they're usually right. Speaking of, I can't look right now and I don't know if such things exist, but does anyone have an official PSA accuracy percentage? We all know it's not 100.
Mike,
You said it very well! I do not take any authentication as gospel. This is a speculative business and NO ONE is going to get it 100%. This is exactly my point.
However, it does appear there is a bias to the certification here. And I think it is very wrong to have such accusations towards a company, or someone, when it can damage a very reputable company.
Why don't you explain to us why EVERY Mickey Mantle autograph on your site seemed to suddenly disappear?
