Its a good idea to ask before purchase. This exact item was listed 3 times and returned twice. I've a good idea why. I expect you will be the third return. Did you look at your sellers closed auctions? Is $130 Buy It Now in the right ballpark? As the collector what do these normally sell for? 

He's only been dead 3 days or so - responses aren't immediate here but they are worth waiting for.

At least the seller has free returns.

Thank you.  I agree whole-heartedly, and usually wait for answers, but I took a chance on this one because of the return policy.  I knew if it was legit, it would not hang around for long.  I don't actually see the two other returns that you mentioned.  I see a second nearly identical one posted and sold the same day as mine.  In any event, I do very much appreciate your response.

It's not the Howard Hesseman signature, but very similar. And Loni is a bit off.

Here's a fun twist to this.  I submitted to Beckett for their signature review, and it passed.  Anyone have thoughts, opinions or experience with something failing PSA and passing Beckett?  Opinions about which is more reliable?

Probably Beckett, but neither of them is nearly as good as they and their proponents would like you to believe.

Those opinions are worthles to me. A quick opinion is just that - one can't use a QO to sell something here for example. Don't throw good money after bad. I'd be working on the return by now. Why do you suppose it keeps getting sold and returned?

Likely the previous buyers bought first and then checked it out, learned it was no good and sent it back.

Thanks again for your thoughts. I appreciate your knowledge. Eric, I'm not sure where you are seeing it was returned to the seller. When I look at sold items for the seller of this, it does not show up as having been previously sold.

Well, I am looking at his sold/completed auctions.

Sold on Jan 30th to you and earlier that day to someone else.

Sold/returned prior but that is no longer visible now. I did not look at "Returns" but how else could he sell it previously and then again?

Has anyone said it is authentic so far?
