Here's what they call the "$1 Million Quartet Guitar", they say was signed by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis. But it's not a $1,000,000...it's just $49,995.

Wow! Even I can tell that these are awful! Not even close.

I purchased 4 autographed Beatles-related items (3 photographs and 1 LP) from them in December 2011. All four just recently failed verification by PSA/DNA Authentication Services.

Charlie,

I am so sorry to hear about this. Could you please upload the images here? Did they come with authentication? And if so, by whom?

You may be able to get your money back. It won't be easy, but you may. And we'll do our best to help you.

Hi Steve,

Each of the items came with hand-signed "authentication" certificates (used very loosely, given the circumstance) from Vintage 329 LLC. I've since contacted their Gallery Director (Ms. Carly Brown; I have yet to receive a response), posted a review on Yelp, and posted comments here. I next plan to contact my credit card company and then file a claim with the BBB. At the very least, I figure that others should be aware of their business practices.

Here are pictures of the four Vintage 329-purchased items that failed authentication by PSA/DNA.

Thanks,

-Charlie

Hey Charlie, where was their retail store? Ive been to NewO several times with my family but the only autograph related stores that I saw sold old books and maps. I bet this is smack dab in the tourist zone. A real shame. Look at their music items!!! Oy@!

Yep - right on Royal Street in the midst of the French Quarter.

Charlie,

Everything we've seen at Vintage 329 was fake. You have 60 days from your credit card or bank statement date to file a claim for a chargeback. Upload images here if you want confirmation they're bad. PSA/DNA is very good though.
