I think some of you people are missing the point. This is not to criticize him for attempting to get his money back. If he can use what Mr Stinson told him and what he learned from Mr Keurajian's book that is great, it's the fact that he clearly states (even though he and others suspect it's forged) that he plans to resell the item to "recoup" his money. So basically he admits he made a mistake and instead of eating the loss on his mistake, he plans to let someone else eat it if it passes authentication. Again, am I missing something here?
I don't think this is harsh, it's the truth. I have been buying and selling autographs on a small scale along with other vintage memorabilia for many years and I have made many mistakes, one thing I don't do is pass my mistakes on to others. Mistakes are part of the game anytime you choose to buy an autograph that you did not personally see signed, but passing it on is exactly why people hate third party authentication so much
