suck_it_forward on ebay using a notary to authenticate?

Weird considering there is zero chance this Jeter autograph ball is real. Check out their other graphs also which have this public notary Kelly Melton from illinois authenticating these. Who obviously should not be authenticating anything as its clear they have no idea what they are doing.

Another hilarious Ebay seller.

Only $650.00 for that POS.

Geez.

Like Terrier previously wrote, even the wannabe autograph collectors won't bite on that crap.

We had one of tis type of seller here in NZ who was getting a JP / Notary to do the same thing. I reported them to their JP association who banned them and the Police warned them about stamping certificates or letters for items they had no seen signed in person. Sure enough the seller was also removed and banned. Disgusting the people who do this

Has anyone reported this one?

The more notaries who get in trouble for this, the less it'll happen.

ETA: Just looked at this user's sales with LOAs. The notarized statement on their sales is not one of authenticity.

I just looked at another item from this seller with "proof" from this notary, as the original link has been taken down.

The "LOA" they claim isn't actually a statement of authenticity. The words "authentic", "genuine", and "hand signed", or any variant thereof, appear nowhere within the document.

It's a purposely jumbled mess of legalese that essentially says "This person owns this piece, nobody else holds any claim of ownership or lien on it, this person is free to sell it". Even I can't get through the last paragraph, as I suspect it's legal gibberish, but I guarantee you that it doesn't constitute proof of authenticity in any way, shape, or form.

Whether the notary knows that they're participating in a fraud or not is up in the air, but unless the LOA on their other auctions is different from that on this one, your title is misleading.
