Hopefully this PSA/DNA company and its employess will be pressed for answers about some of their authentications by some branch of authority. With all this Mastro stuff going on and the issues with the Honus Wagner trim job, just out of curiosity I went through some of their older auction listings. In my opinion these items are far misses and have no supporting evidence that they are real, in fact the evidence shows something to the contrary.

How could they have listed, authenticated and sold this 1910 signed John L. Sullivan in 2007?

After selling this real 1910 signed John L. Sullivan in 2002? Wouldn't they have had prior knowledge that the one sold in 2007 was a fake before it was even listed and/or authenticated?

Close to $5,000 of worthlessness on these alone.
An interesting relationship between Mastro and PSA/DNA to say the least. Is it possible they did receive favoritism in their authentications or even knowingly had bad items passed for them?
I would also like to see a representative from PSA/DNA come on here to explain these in addition to the Sonny Liston posted on this thread.
Bureau of Consumer Protection, FBI take note.
