Fake charity items from PSA Productions.....Jordan, Lebron, DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Aaron Rogers, etc.

I mentioned this here last year and nobody responded. There is a company here in Phoenix called Mountainside Fitness, to which I belong. They are again setting up a charity auction from a company called PSA Productions run by a guy, Jim Johnson (pretty sure that is his name). They set up inside the health club and have bidding sheets. Just about everything is fake, with the exception of a PSA Magic and Bird and a JSA Cincinnati Reds signed photo with Rose, Bench.

All of the fake items are certified by GA, yes, Steve Sipe. Everything is elaborately matted and framed to throw off any suspicion.

The banners at the tables all have large PSA lettering so it appears that PSA is the company offering the goods, when in fact it is someone taking advantage of the PSA name recognition.

I of course asked to speak with the general manager. No surprise, he isn't available. They offer me their corporate number, nobody answers and they ask you to leave a message. Again, no surprise, no return phone call. This really p***** me off. I went up to every person I saw looking at the items and warned them to not bid. My first inclination was to write "fake signature" on the bidding sheets. My daughter talked me out of it, because she thinks we will get kicked out.

They were offering Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Lebron James, Aaron Rogers, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, and Ted Williams. Just about every item was around $400 in the bidding.

Any suggestions? I was thinking about contacting the local newspaper, not really sure of anyone cares besides us. If you live in Arizona and have a Mountainside Fitness near you, go in and see if they have the same set up. Maybe if more people called to complain, they would do something.

I looked at all of them before they were taken down and they are all bad IMO.

Brett actually makes our case for us. He is attempting to say that the items in the charity auction that are certified by ACE and Global are good, but yet he tries to trick us by showing items that are from PSA. Why not post items that are from ACE and Global? Because he knows as well as we all do, that he cannot produce any that are legitimate! Pure genius.

That just proves the point that somebody high up over there knew all the GA, ACE, Coach's Corner crap they have auctioned off over the years were forgeries. They KNEW. Otherwise, Brett would have not originally stated that the items he showed were GA and ACE. He knows those are bad and tried getting a certain reaction here by mentioning them.

no doubt Dom, its probably the same group of clowns who try this every couple of months. We all know who they are, despite the fake names. Its both sad and pathetic
