As we have seen more than we want to... somethings are turned down that shouldn't be while too many other ones are certified as being authentic and are the furtherst from being authentic.

when it comes to Mantle and a number of other celebrities the collective think tank around here appears to have a better accuracy.  Maybe we should form the AMagCertOperation and we too can have stickers..

Matt, in my opinion, you cannot post the scenario you describe unless you post a photograph of the item in question.

I agree with Mr.Williams...you should post a pic of that Mantle Matt before this becomes a Piazza thread...I don't doubt your story but at the same time there's nothing to go by either...please post a pic...I am sure we can get to the bottom of it...there's a lot of extremely knowledgeable people on here on Mantle that can and are willing to help you out...

Here is a perfect example I feel is something that should have been turned away even though it was deemed authentic...now this is a really sloppy Ford...but at the same time there is so many authentic qualities about it that I know its good...even though it seems like the "Whitey" potion looks like it's spelled wrong...and this is something I would not personally want in my collection....BUT...I think this should have been turned down even though I feel there is no question its good since I have met Whitey ford more times then most fans and seen him sign his name in front of me many many times with slight variations to it...Mostly with the letter "W"...but I think this should have been deemed NOT AUTHENTIC...that is a really bad example to compare to others in my opinion...

Of course, it would be nice to see the item and the provenance and show ought to be identifiable as well.

Just cause one person at a show representing PSA isn't the final answer.  There are other as well as other reputable TPA's that have as much clout.

for insurance authentication purposes one only needs to identify an equivalent number of items using reputable sites that sell such items.  Print them and store them with the item in question for posterity.

Let's hope we get to see yet another authentic mantle.
