That's exactly what the companies want, the topic and discussion to go off track, so they can ignore it an cert the next round of questionable autographs.
If collectors only knew what really went on at these places, i doubt they would ever send in another autograph to them.
The mathewson story is one out of hundreds, almost all which haven't been reported yet. again , these companies use the forensic examiner as their bogeyman, so they can try to look good.
They WANT the forensic examiner in the game, so the focus stays off of them. no forensic examiners to push around= the spotlight on the authentication companies.
I dont care about the forensic examiners, but people want it to be an either/or game, and it's neither. you have to call out the mistakes and the bad apples when they occur, from ALL sides, not just ignore it if it is a large authentication company.
If an FDE did the mathewson's, lots of people would be calling bloody murder, but it was an acronym company that they like, so let's just all move on, nothing to see here?
Investigate EVERYBODY! Because the bread crumbs are out there, and they don't just lead to forensic document examiners.

If the mythical ABC Companies "want them in the game (forensic document examiners) ", why don't you fight harder against getting them OUT then, like we all want?
Your refusal to stand up and stay quiet about guys like Christopher Morales says volumes about what you stand for. How many Christopher Morales Certified ALI signatures have you seen Travis? That's right next to ZERO, if not Zero, unless one of those dopes on your site is peeling stickers from ABC and affixing those beautiful shiny gold holograms of theirs for a sting operation? I agree ABC was completely in the wrong in their handling of the wonderful shiney gold holograms, but wholey schnikies...can you blame them? Still, the only Legitimate Mantle I have ever seen with a Moralass lovely shiney gold hologram. How is that helping so much that you refuse to speak about it?
Despite what you might think Travis, I respect your opinions greatly and agree with you 90% of the time. You are just way off based on this issue thinking Cock Roach Corner and Christopher Moral Less have little impact. Let's get them OUT first, then we'll work on ABC companies and the 100's of mistakes they make a day.....The difference is the FDE's....EVERY DAMNED ONE THEY CERTIFY IS A FORGERY!!!!!
ABC companies are at least like blind squirrels and find nuts once in a while. I agree that ABC's are harmful as well and it surely needs some serious housecleaning, but I think you are so one sided on this subject that it's really just a shame from a collectors point of view.
