Timeless Autograph Auctions
 
I got an email from this auction house pushing their first auction. I'm not sure how I got on their list, but there are myriad ways it could happen. Anyone else get one?

There is not a lot of info on the site about who/what started this auction house, which has me skeptical right away. The presence of almost 100 percent ACE certs (with a few GAI) does as well. I quickly read through the offerings and saw nothing of interest, so I have not examined the autos therein. I tend not to waste my time with ACE, anyway.

Any thoughts?

I looked at their Derek Jeter auctions. Time for the barf bag.

Wayne, my thoughts mirrored yours.

They apparently spammed the entire hobby. Ther is a thread about them at Autograph Magazine Live as well.

The prevailing opinion is a lot of ACE authenticated clunkers.

I hate the Jerry Rice and the 500 Home Run Poster. I believe that if you want to gamble on one buy the Pete Rose 4192 Pose. He signed so many of these that you can probably buy an original cheaper than a forgery. I have not seen one of those forged due to that. Seriously though I will not be bidding in that auction. I take that all back I looked at the Rose the second time and I believe it is fake, but overpriced either way.

It is not easy to navigate over there. Got a link?

That Bryce Harper and A-Rod are hideous.

Holy smokes!!! They certainly did!!! I bet they got a few emails about their auctions.

Another career highlight for Justin Priddy.

Sentiments exactly Zipper. When I saw that first page, I thought Coach's Corner of Arizona. Glad they pulled everything. Maybe they set off to be legit and didn't realize who Justin was or what he is. Nice Obama signed 16x20. Lol.

Are they in Arizona? Funny that one of my gut instincts when trying to figure out who started the auction house was that everything seemed similar to Premeir Auctions, who are also out of Arizona...

I also noticed the auction style is similar to Premier's. But it's probably just that they are using the same auction software. Most to all auction houses use software from outside software companies and some auction houses use the same software.

Their "inaugural auction" is back up, but there are now no ACE certs to be seen. Very interesting.

How happy to see another auction house jump into the hobby :D.
I want to send them a thank you note for offering us the opportunity to buy from them.

Shoot. I was really looking forward to winning the ACE Authenticated Barack Obama 16 x20.

I had reserved a hallowed place for it above my faux fireplace. Kinda like a trifecta. ;)
