Questions On Music items from UK dealer

Garry King is well liked by some but I see a big problem with some of the items I see on his site. I'm not referring to Kenny Baker and other small bits but rather the large $$ music items.

Dealers in the UK might not be aware of current music item that they offer for sale. In another thread several autographs from Autografica were deemed fake. The items were Clint Eastwood, Charlton Heston and Harrison Ford.

He might not know there is a problem.

AFTAL's principal founder, Marc Mclennan, on Roger Epperson:

"so far on this fourm you have rubbished Rogger Epperson maybe one of the most repected music authenticators in the world!"

What changed since Mclennan said this in an ACAF discussion on March 15, 2012? Why are they now not considering his opinion?

Since you can't read the ACAF discussion featuring Marc Mclennan and the forged Queen album unless you join ACAF, I posted a section of it here:

Steve
That post on Mark Mclennan is amazing !
I'm shocked
I really am surprised at what has been stated
Some of it is very worrying and some if it I actually would be embarrassed of if I was him

So if am item you have for sale in your opinion, looks like an item authenticated by a renown Authentificator then you can deem it Genuine
Then list the item as approved genuine and list it as authenticated by that authenticator
That's is utter BS

This is getting so deep now that I wish someone from AFTAL would ofer some explanations

I know AFTAL members are reading this
Come on guys man up and speak up
Thanks
Gary Harvey

just wanted to let everyone know that even tho at this point AFTAL says the mj's are authentic if anyone has one the dealers are still willing to refund you for them. I just got a refund for mine :)

The Autographica Show is this weekend. Is anyone going there to review AFTAL's evidence?

Hi Steve, I wanted to go but I was away all week, but too be honest even if I was free I would probably of gave it a miss, after the comments I received back in August at my post on here.

I look forward to the outcome and any comments from attendees

Hi Gary,

Yes, you did get some heat for not being in lockstep, didn't you? Some site member will be going to the show, so I imagine we'll hear about it. Hopefully the many good AFTAL dealers will throw out the few bad eggs.

a couple of overdue respones - UACC action on Mark Mclennan's status based on his email communications to steve cyrkin and roger epperson that he no longer is involved with the entities registered to the UACC

and much more importantly; WHERE is this proof that the Michael Jacksons are authentic and thus Roger has no clue what he is talking about? It would appear that we on this side of the pond aren't the only ones wondering;

Well its been awhile now and the Autgraphica show has been and gone. I was wondering if Dominic would be able to put the proof that was going to be shown at the show on here as not everybody could go to the show and since you visit here everyday you would be the best person to ask as you are on the board of AFTAL.

Also on a different note I think that a few people should read the rule that they created themselves as I beleive a few have been broken.
