REA Ruth autographed snapshot
Is an autographed snapshot of Ruth in the new REA auction (Lot 1535) where it is disclosed that "Please Note: PSA/DNA and JSA each declined to provide an LOA for this piece." I mean the disclosure is nice, but on the other hand why even include it in such an auction if neither of the authorities in the field can authenticate it?

maybe because not all collectors let an authentication service dictate what is and isn't authentic?

I'm sure Drew Max or Donald Frangipani would oblige...

I don't think I know more about authenticating autographs than the guys at PSA or JSA. Never mind both of them together. Maybe you guys do.

I am not an art buyer, but I would think Christie's would pull a painting from an auction if the third party experts in the field could not confirm it was genuine. But maybe that's not the case.

Steve-
Although I agree with you, generally, it is your opinion that PSA/DNA and JSA are the "authorities" in the field. Beckett is a third-party authenticator, and they have asserted the autograph is genuine. Understand also that the autograph authentication field is quite incestuous. If I told you that this Ruth autograph was personally reviewed by Steve Grad, does that change your opinion? What if it was Steve when he worked for PSA/DNA? What if it was Steve when he worked for Beckett? I'm happy that REA is making disclosures on this particular piece. You ought to be assured that there are many (hundreds?) of key autographs out there that were rejected by JSA, but passed PSA/DNA and vice-versa. Marc |
