Coming on the heels of psa insisting a wife signed Bob Fitzsimmons autographs is real and refusing to take it down on their psaautographfacts page, we find this beauty being offered up on Heritage of Marlin (sic) Julian. (Notice they call him Marlin Julian in the title, instead of Martin Julian, presumably because Martin crosses his t very high or not on the stem of the T itself, so it doesn't look like it is crossed, and looks like an L, not because they would actually know who Julian is at all.)

Now not only do they misspell Martin Julian's namein the title, calling him Marlin, they fail to issue their precious Precertification on Martin's autograph due to inconclusive-lack of exemplars? WHAT?
In the description, they finally call him Martin Julian, but say that PSA can't rule on the signature because they don't have exemplars of Julian's autograph.
What are they doing? What is going on here? Are they even trying? Does Heritage have anybody over there that knows boxing one whit?
There are several Martin Julian exemples around, below are two.
But if PSA really wanted to study Martin Julian's handwriting, they should look at the Martin Julian Handwriting they have already given a cert to. They should look at the Bob Fitzsimmons autograph they certed as genuine that was actually signed by Martin Julian himself.
So they call a Bob Fitzsimmons manager signed autograph a genuine Fitzsimmons example, but then can't certify a manager signed autograph of himself? What the heck Joe Orlando, Steve Grad? And what is Heritage doing over there. Chris Ivy, are you paying attention?
Here is a page that details the entire Martin Julian signed Fitzsimmons autograph that PSA certed as a genuine Fitzsimmons. There is your Julian handwriting right there for you in black and white, PSA!!!
Why do we put up with it? Heritage, please get a boxing expert in there, pronto, PSA, please get a boxing expert on board your company.
