Authenticity is Everything
Did PSA/DNA get this Madonna signed program right?
Once again, I am questioning whether PSA messed-up another Madonna signed item. This time it’s a Sticky and Sweet Tour program allegedly signed by the Queen of Pop. The item comes with a PSA LOA from 2010.
So what’s your opinion: authentic or not?
I’d love to hear anyone’s opinion. Plus, I’ll put out a Bat signal, so perhaps Kamran will join the discussion and help us solve this riddle!
There’s a pic below as well as a link to the auction.

Yes, that was truly sad that she took her own life at such a young age to die. Well, thank you again for straightening me out on the magazine and bringing to light for many of us the secretarial Madonnas. It will help us all out in the future.

You’re the best, Kamran! Enjoy the rest of your day. Now, I better get some shuteye.

Hey Joe, as it turns out, you had very good reason not to like my Madonna signed magazine. Besides just the visual aspect of it, it turned out to be secretarial! I was just certain it was good because the seller attended the event. I do believe the seller also thought it was authentic, but as Kamran said, i dont think he sold it with any malicious intent. It just so happened that it was signed by Madonna’s manager. Man, I'm just glad i was able to pick up that book recently.

I'm sorry it worked out that way. It's very easy to make a mistake with Madonna. Kamran's the man!! Least you have a good signed book. I have one good Madonna myself and feel fortunate but my(our) quest is to keep looking. I love this hobby!!

I have to say that I really admire your attitude James. I don't know what you paid for the secretarial but even if it wasn't that much it takes a lot of character to react the way you did to Kamran's info. I've had a few similar experiences so I know what it is like.

Well, thank you for the nice comment, Pug. As I said, it was indeed disappointing to hear, but as is said, sometimes the truth hurts. I’m really glad Kamran was honest with me (as I asked him to be) because I wanted the straight scoop...nothing sugarcoated. And Kamran has been so AWESOME and helpful to all of us Madonna collectors, patiently answering all of our many questions and expanding our knowledge. I’m really grateful for his help.
Yes, I took a hit in the wallet, but it’s not the first time...although fortunately it doesn’t happen very often anymore. It wasn’t an enormous amount, but it also was much more than nothing. To be honest, I paid $250 for that secretarial. So that turned out to be a pretty expensive magazine. Yet it could have been worse considering people sometimes pay close to $1000 and more (or less) for a real Madonna autograph, depending, of course, on what was signed and the item’s rarity. It’s also easier to deal with since I also know that I’ve gotten some great deals on items that saved me much more than $250. You know...in this fun, yet sometimes challenging hobby that we all love, most of us have taken a hit or two, but that’s just part of the experience and the learning process. And then when you get that special something that’s a no-doubter and at a great price, you feel ecstatic.
