Well, that was fast. I would also sell the Amos Rusie separately if I were the consignor.
Wayne,
sure, I'll be happy to explain. When we received the item from the consignor, we wrote it and posted it. Since, we took it to JSA for them to examine the autographs again. When we originally received it, it came with a 2001 LOA from PSA and there was no mention of the Mel Ott signature. We wanted to have it re-examined to see if the Ott was good, so we could list it. When we re-took it to them, JSA advised us that there were several "clubhouse" signatures, including the Ott, the Alexander and the entire '39 Tigers page. At the request of the consignor, we have since removed the Rusie autograph and are sending it in for grading and authentication through PSA and it will be offered in our October auction. If you want to post to the thread, feel free.
Thanks,
Josh Wulkan
