To make matters worse, they sent the book to PSA/DNA and it came back with a rejection letter saying that the book showed signs of being traced.

How can such a self appointed expert make such a huge mistake??? And he works for PSA??? What about other items with his COA now?

watch the whole thing as this goes on for the whole show.

I was at the auction where that Joe Jackson was sold.
It was a cut signature.
I would not have bid on it due to my aversion to cuts that I have not cut up myself and because I was never sure if he could really sign.
Herman Darvick is now an expert with JSA.
