"Thanks for your response. It does make me feel better about paying for it as well as shelling out $75 for the Beckett "insurance policy"...You know I have collected celeb autographs for probably more than 50 years. First acquiring them at…"
"Garland isn’t in my wheelhouse but I do have some knowledge of her autograph habits thru exemplars. I would say that this is authentic. RR is a very reputable auction house that has handled many Garland autographs in the past. There are a few…"
"Hi Nick, So is it your opinion that this Judy isn't "right" ?"
"Yes, it would be nice to have an RR rep. state clearly and with precision what "Pre-Certification" entails. I believe it's a point of fact that an autograph seller on eBay cannot use just a Quick Opinion from JSA, PSA or Beckett…"
"Great post! Quite honestly, the pre-certification stuff is confusing. It would be hard for me to believe every piece in a RR auction has been sent to Beckett for them to examine. I always thought the piece had to physically be sent in to the TPA to…"

"It’s basically just a quick opinion by them, you won’t get the full letter COA unless they take a look at it for $75. I can tell you in my experience that RRAuction typically do not put fakes in their auctions but then again nobody is…"
"Hi NIck, it says on the RR site ...This item is Pre-Certified by BeckettBuy a third-party letter of authenticity for $75.00.. So haven't they already given it their blessing?"
"This piece was sold in the last RRAuction with a pre-certification from Beckett. If you were the winning bidder I would pay the $75 for full certification from Beckett and if deemed fake you will get your money back from RR. They are a reputable…"
"Just for reference, here's a genuine 1941 signed album page from Judy. I believe this was sold by Bonhams."
"Gulp! It went last night ( to me) in RR sale...comes with a pre-cert by Beckett..."
"P.s. Others would know better than I...but had she begun stacking her name yet in 1941?"
"I'm not as expert as some other folks on this board with her but this seems off to me.
To my eye, the "d's" in both her first and last name are odd for this earlier period....as well as the "G". Not…"
