I used to be a hoarder and have recently been selling off my dupes and are down to under 10 to sell. I have never sent anything in before but decided to send in these 3 to PSA to help with the sale. I am well known by Jim Stinson, Bill Corcoran and many others who have seen my collection
1. Callahan Ty Cobb- bought from Ron Gordon who before he was retired was one of the premier sellers like Jim Stinson, Bill Corcoran, Richard Simon etc. Can view the item at

This came with a LOA from Richie Albersheim
PSA turned them all down, even the one with a full LOA from one of their new authenicators. I talked to a cold woman about the fact that one of their own authenticators had OKed the McKechnie before but she wasn't helpful.
Then there was the 1933 Goudey maranville I had a friend submit to Spence who rejected it. 2 months later I submitted it to an auction house and Spence (Jimmy both times) looked at it and passed it for the auction house. I think it is real as did people I trust.
These folks (PSA) have really pissed me off but if I ebay these 3 I'll never sell them for what they are worth without a cert. Most people want these certs regardless of how poor these guys are at authenticating. I am somewhat venting, somewhat asking for advice as sometimes this mess makes me want to liquidate and buy a farm in Hawaii.
