I threw up a little in my mouth...

I went to a local paper fair today and a dealer had a Bobby Thompson check in a PSA holder. Fine, no biggie, but he was bitching a blue streak about how ridiculous the whole encapsulation thing was. The rest of his high end inventory was accompanied by Donald Frangipani COAs. I told him that Frangipani was one of the reasons why PSADNA has a niche, because DF is a fraud who will authenticate anything.

"That's not true, he's a forensic document examiner", the dealer said.

"That term has zero meaning," I said. "He's a fraud who has been debunked on TV and whose COAs are barred from eBay."

We agreed to disagree.

Maybe it was the fake but really quite good on first glance dual signed Karloff-Lugosi inscribed photo with the DF cert and the $1850 price tag, but I felt slightly ill...
