What do you think of Beckett Authentication? Help me understand.

I sent Beckett Authentication a very nice Emma Watson 8x10 which I paid a whole bunch for from UK Dealer. They found it to be Authentic. #16675743 Type the certificate number in it at Beckett it says that it's an encapsulated picture of Emma Watson. #16675743. For now. 

They sent Emma Watson back to me yesterday March 25. I thought it was going to arrive encapsulated. Instead Emma came with a letter saying that it is not authentic. But wait, Beckett authenticated it gave it a certificate #16675743 mailed it back to me without a certificate, without being encapsulated and told me it was not real.

So if you go and type #16675743 in at Beckett right now it'll still say Emma Watson Encapsulated,  until they decide to hide their mistake by making it disappear.

No one from Beckett will contact me to help me correct this yet. So I ask you what good is it having a company like Beckett Authentication when these kinds of things happen?

Here’s a Beckett authenticated David Crosby printed signature.
They also somehow turned this into a Paul McCartney signed LP. It’s actually a full set of Neil Aspinall secretarial signatures.

They also authenticated this Macca forgery.

And this one.

So Beckett can't be trusted? Is that the general consensus? I'm still waiting for them to help me. Here's a screen shot of my order and here's what you get when you type the certificate number. This is all so crazy it makes me want to stop collecting. Can someone please, please type in the certificate number and see if they see the same thing. Beckett #16675743 as seen on my order. Please just validate what I'm seeing. I fear Beckett will remove it at anytime now that they've got egg on their face because of a mistake.

That is all I see.

Now I'm confused.

Did the item come back not encapsulated and it still appears online as having a cert #?  If they ultimately won't authenticate it then why would/should they leave it out there?

Maybe I'm missing something.

You are not alone I am confused about that too lol.

So Renee from Beckett customer service wrote me an email today and said that the Beckett computer system generated me a false certificate of authenticity for my Emma Watson. That Beckett is having computer problems. They are sorry. How would the computer know that it was an encapsulated picture? Anyway, this has completely poisoned me on working with Beckett ever again.

Unless they have really good Artificial Intelligence, I believe some human has to put stuff into the computer.   I think at the very least they owe you a free authentication although I can certainly understand you not wanting to do that.  At least it would have been a goodwill gesture.

Yes, it came back not encapsulated. But anybody who looks up that certificate number can see that Beckett authenticated my Emma Watson and said that it's encapsulated. But it came back to me not encapsulated. And now the people at Beckett have sent me on a wild goose chase. They won't call, they won't contact me. Their website says that my Emma is very real. I am so confused.

Could they maybe have sent it to a station for a sticker by accident then realized after it got there that it was supposed to be encapsulated so something got mixed up and as a result they sent it back to you without either?

Did you receive a rejection letter for the Emma Watson SP?

Permalink Reply by John Maurer on April 8, 2024 at 2:25pm

Yes, however that's not the one they have posted in the order section of my Beckett page.  The one on their website says it's authentic, the one they mailed to me says that it's not. There's some sort of disconnect between whoever authenticated it and whoever handled it next or something like that. Does the number show up when you look for it on the Beckett site as being authentic?

Yes, the number shows up and it’s listed as authentic in the cert database. They either had a change of opinion after it was authenticated and neglected to remove the cert # from the database, or a rejection letter was issued in error. I’ve never heard of that before.
