Comment by kevin conway on February 10, 2012 at 8:24pm: You guys hit the nail on the head with Allen Radwill of Guaranteed Autographs. I "outed" this guy and his "Highly Suspect" activity (I would use far more severe words to describe Radwill but this is a family forum) out several years ago on anther autograph forum.

But, what many of you don't know is he is also VERY Malicious, particularly when you threaten his "Highly Suspect" activity. He is an aggressive revenge seeker.

Thus guy has been on a smear campaign against me ever since I "outed" him. From posting fabricated complaint reviews/reports all over the internet, under of course ANONYMOUS names, for an autograph he supposedly bought from me, to harassing me from one of his eBay accounts to even calling to harass me on Christmas Eve. I got 2 or 3 calls from this number in New Jersey, and was not sure who it was, until I called the number and Radwill answered, confirming it was he who has been posting all these online false "complaint" reports.

Comment by CJCollector on February 8, 2012 at 5:50pm: I don't know who Al Radwill is, or his reputation, but I found this ugly Mantle on his website.

Comment by Steve Cyrkin, Admin on February 8, 2012 at 3:18pm: Maybe the Universal Manuscript Society is a section of the Autograph Society of America.

Comment by Bill Panagopulos on February 8, 2012 at 1:47pm: Hahahahaha!!! "Universal Manuscript Society"!!! And I'm a member in good standing of the "Atomic Autograph Association of Ashtabula"! What a maroon...

Comment by Bill Panagopulos on February 8, 2012 at 1:44pm: "Al Radwill is a well-known, respected trusted member of an industry he has served for 30 years...We are a member of The Garden State Ephemera Association and The Universal Manuscript Society...Over two-thirds of our items come from three major collectors...".

Comment by Josef R on February 8, 2012 at 1:27pm: Who asked about Guaranteddautograps.com? I have found no one real handsigned Czech item here. Only totally id..t can buy this Havel´s "signature"...

Comment by Steve Cyrkin, Admin on February 8, 2012 at 12:49pm: David,

This is an important dealer to discuss in detail. Everyone in this group will get each comment made on this wall, though, so what about starting a discussion above? That way they'll only get emails if they comment or subscribe to the discussion.

Please do...I'm really glad you brought this dealer up.
