Here is what they say when you call them out.  So scripted and generic.

"Everything written on an internet blog site must be true. Why would we offer 100% money back? 
We review every single item that we offer for sale. Our sources have been checked and rechecked. We discuss at length collections we purchase more often than not from clients that have been buying from us for years. After 20 years of collecting and 15 years of selling, we are confident that our process works. We guarantee that every signature was carefully examined and deemed in our opinion to be authentic. If you have an Authenticator that states the item purchased is not authentic and will stand behind their position, then we will issue a refund. It is important to note that we will not accept an Authenticator that states, “It is our opinion that we cannot approve the signature” or words to that effect. He or she must be able to prove that it is not authentic. This must be accomplished within 30 days from date of purchase. Prior to purchase we will be happy to explain the paperwork accompanying the item. It is important to ask necessary questions to make the right decision.  Unless we have seen the item signed by ourselves, we cannot guarantee, nor can anyone else, the authenticity of a signature. Upon hearing that, the first response should be, “What about third party authentication? That guarantees that the signature is 100% authentic!” Unfortunately, it does not, as it is still a rendered opinion. There are many collectors that do not believe in third-party authentication. There are many collectors that have confidence in specific Authenticators, while refusing to accept others. Combine the fact that authentication is not an exact science and the sheer volume that is reviewed on a daily basis; most reputable Authenticators themselves will admit that even under the best of circumstances, their findings are merely an opinion. It is not concrete proof of a genuine autograph."

...What fools.  They literally say they don't offer refunds from authenticators who render "opinions"....Read their 7th sentence......they base their authenticity on their opinions.  Nobody can 100% prove a signature unless you where there!  they hide behind technicalities and sound foolish!

They basically say you aren't going to get a refund regardless. Totally scripted, I'm sure they just copy and paste it over from the last message they sent. Once again, disgusting scam, all obvious forgeries.

Gotta wonder how eBay seller dimaggioestate came up with his eBay ID? Oh, I know, to deceive and scam. There is no other reason.

Here is as ugly of a set of Joe D/Ted Williams forgeries as you will ever see.
