Ouch. I thought the listing might run its course, but I never expected that kind of price. It still has 10 hours to go too.

There’s absolutely no way those are legit bids.

64 bids and 4 who have bid 10 grand or more -- so they are real bids I'm afraid. The JSA cert carries alot of weight for those who don't know any better.

You definitely called it when you said someone was going to be out a lot of money. The JSA cert sent the price through the roof.

It’s really quite amazing. I must admit to the untrained eye the signatures look good. If the winning bidder keeps them as an investment and never tries to sell them they won’t be the wiser. If they bought them hoping to flip them they will be in for a big surprise or the JSA COA will get them out of it.

On a side note which authentication COA carries the most weight? Caiazzo, Tracks, Beckett, PSA/DNA, JSA , Epperson ?

If you Google “Who are the best autograph authenticators”, it says “PSA/DNA, JSA and Beckett.” I would imagine that their certs carry the most weight. Who would I most trust to provide an accurate opinion of this set? Caiazzo, Tracks and Epperson.
