New Blogger Bought from American Royal Arts and Needs a Little Help!

Hello everyone, I was alerted to this site to become involved and try and  find out some information. I am a Elvis Presley fan, I have purchased a lot, around 13 pieces of Elvis Presley wall art, photos, signed albums, also of Tiger Woods, thru American Royal Arts, in Boca Raton, FLA. Now trying to resell some pieces, I have all the Forensic's Documents, but I have been alerted that this gallery and the owner Jerry Gladstone may be false, and they are being investigated by the FBI, I see in articles here they are being sued regarding a Beatles piece, well this information leaves me just saddened. I put a lot of money into my collection and now to see this distressing news, I don't know which direction to go next.

Here's a link to an article I wrote on Christopher Morales, "Christopher Morales: The Forger's Best Friend." I think it says it all:

Autograph Central has two signed Elvis albums. They are a real deal at less than $600 a piece. I do not know why Bryan Slaven would not charge a lot more money for albums signed by Elvis.

They look like they were signed by the same person who signed Patricia's Elvis Albums.
Yes...the...autographs...look...identical......the...signatures...exactly...the...same....
I managed to try & get a few of the signed albums, behind glass, maybe I'll get a friend to take a picture who does take better shots! I sure would like to become part of a warning group, such as you all are, to try and stop these crooks whole manage to skirt the law ever slightly!

Are you sure he didn't actually mean "re-lieable"?

For comparison, here's the Elvis Presley from my collection:

The Petruccio piece is the one I traded my fake guitar for. I checked it out with UD before I agreed to take it. He really plays up the fact that it was signed through Upper Deck. I think he is really proud to sell his first authentic piece.
Saves hours in Photoshop.
I have a Paul McCartney and John Lennon and possibly a George Harrison that look identical to the autographs identified as "Southern California forgeries". What are my options? When I spoke to an ARA rep, his basic reply was " it's their word against ours". Since American Royal Arts issued the certificate of authhenticity, and it doesn't seem to be worth the paper it's printed on, what can we do?
Alan, why don't you upload them here, with the paperwork. Did they come with authentication papers or only their COAs?
sent Gerry Gladstone a email today, telling him every thing I knew I now know about him, and those sites he sent me, especially the one where he is aware of the "Examiner" Christopher Morales, tried not to be too harsh, told him I want my money back, and I will ship the crap he sold me back to him any guesses what to do, I suppose nothing, I'm into him about $14,000 on the "Elvis" pieces
