He AFTAL members No. 2 and 3. You probably can find a direct email address in his AFTAL profiles at aftal.org.uk.

Here is his guarantee on his web site.

"All my items are original autographs and come with my own certificate of authenticity, which acts as your life time Guarantee that it is original and if you get proof from an official autograph company that the item is not genuine you will get your money back. As I do most of the collecting myself, and if I do use 3rd parties then they have very good reputations, you can rest assured there will be no problems.".

Just am wondering what his idea of "an official autograph company" means. I would think he would be required to accept an official AFTAL approved authenticator to remain a member of this organization. Such as the one Mr. Cyrkin mentioned.

Definitely not genuine in my opinion.

I don't want to paint everybody with the same brush. There are AFTAL dealers that I have the highest respect for...and AFTAL dealers that I have no trust in at all.

Off the top of my head:

• Markus Brandes Autographs
• Autographca (Garry King's dealership. He also owns the authentication company)
• TopPix Autographs
• AWA Inc
• AD#142 Autograph World LLC  (since there are 2 by similar names)
• Autograph Pros

There are many others for sure, but these are the ones off the top of my head. Many are in the US, tho.

How long ago did you buy this? Was it through eBay and PayPal?

Have it checked out by the AFTAL authenticator I recommended. If that's not good enough for him then file a complaint with AFTAL. Assuming the authenticator says it's questionable that is.

Do you think Garry would comment on these known who they are from? Garry doesn't have a quick opinion on his website so that's make me wonder would he comment on these?

I had items from an Aftal dealer and I did offer them to Garry a while later. He was interested until I told him who I purchased it from and then no more contact from Garry.

Who's opinion (3rd party authentication) did you get? Thanks
